Thanks Roy, thats exactly what I was looking for. I don't have the rear mud guard extension so hence the confusion re the mounts. I'm sure I can come up with something now i know how it's supposed to mount up.

Hi, was going to start a separate thread, but I'll jump in here. I have recently acquired what I was lead to believe was a set of tekno pannier bags and mounting frames specifically for a V11 I'm quite happy to re-engineer to suit as I currently also have a Ventura system in place which I plan to keep in place as well. I can highly recommend the Ventura products as I have used them extensively over the years on a number of bikes without any issues, and for the cost, I would doubt you'd find better in a securely mounted system.

Hi, when I repainted the Scura rims I sourced 83 degree stems from an Ebay seller, http://stores.ebay.com/kurveygirl, they were the 8.3mm ones because I couldn't get that size here in NZ, hence the Ebay purchase, and had no issues fitting these. The holes in your rim aren't fouled with paint or burrs of any sort? Seems odd that the 8.3mm won't fit as they are recommended for the Brembo rims. Hope you get it sorted, I can recommend the seller and the stems are top quality and really do make checking tire pressure so much easier.

Yep, same thing happened to me a couple of months back. Found the spacer to be about 1.6mm to short so was surprised the bearings lasted as long as they did. Machined up a new spacer, replaced bearings and everything happy...

I can't remember if I used the supplied button or indeed if it even came with an additional button. The entire clutch assembly was complete and was a simple matter of bolting on and torqueing up, with no issues once installed, (long may that continue...)

Some information that I receceived from a number of emails from Agostini's whilst going through the same clutch drama. I have posted these before when i was going through this process a while back, "Yes we have the RAM clutch. The difference is that the Guzzi version used some RAM parts and some parts from other sources. There is no reason to suspect there will be any future problem in the delivery. You may however like to take a spare friction disk at the same time. Please note that the clutch comes ready assembled and balanced and there is no need to dismantle it to install it. It is designed in such a way that the screws are inserted through openings in the clutch centre. The clutch body (the gear that fits to the front of the gearbox and inserts into the clutch) is not supplied in the kit and must be ordered separately if your existing gear is showing wear. If it is ok you do not need to replace it as it is compatible with the RAM clutch. The price of the clutch kit is 450.00 euro and the price of friction disks is 65.00 euro" And... "RAM Engineering is a small company however it is quite well established here in Mandello and is doing a small but consistent turnover in special products for Guzzi. Mainly big bore kits and the RAM clutch. There is no reason to suspect that it will not continue in the same way for may years. The clutch comes with the necessary screws to mount it and is 100% compatible with the existing clutch and original clutch body. In fact the original design for the Guzzi clutch was by RAM engineering but, unfortunately, to save money Guzzi did not source all parts from RAM and therein lies the source of the problem with cracking flywheels. The flywheel was one of the items that Guzzi sourced elsewhere. A new clutch body is available for 86.91 euro. But if yours is not worn it is not worth replacing." This was acouple of years ago now and the clutch so far appears fine...

Not sure how much "shine" the picture will show but hope it will give you an idea of the end result. Prior to this the carbon fibre was very dull and didn't help with the appearance of the bike at all.

Had all the carbon fibre parts on the Scura re sprayed last winter because the sun and elements had taken their toll. Was concerned about the durability of the end result, particularly on the carbon fibre "covers" that go over the exhaust cans on the Scura. Ended up using a product that is apparently used on chimney flues to give a gloss finish. Thus far all parts, including exhaust covers, look as they did ex paint shop. One problem that the painter encountered though was the presence of silicon embeded in some parts of the fibre strands. This makes adhesion of any kind of coating difficult. Most polishes etc contain silicon, something to be mindful of if you wish to re coat carbon fibre. After much cleaning with solvents and sanding back top coats he was able to get a good result, needless to say he was happy to see the back of me and my carbon fibre...

Recently got the bike back on its own two wheels after a bit of TLC over the winter. The bike sat on one of the jacks that your looking at in your original post. Like others i had to use a couple of pieces of wood strategically placed beneath the pan but I was confident enough to leave the bike this way for a couple of months. I was able to remove the rear wheel along with the front wheel and forks etc at the same time. I did however place a further couple of pieces of wood at the rear of the bike for my own piece of mind. I have used a number of different jacks etc on numerous bikes and there are always limitations depending on the task you are trying to perform, sometimes you just have to be a little creative...

I have it at home. Comes with the clear windscreen. $250 plus shipping. Thank you for that, I've sent you through an email via your profile page.

Hi, is anybody able to confirm for me that the screens Gustafsson list for a V11 Sport will indeed also fit the Scura. Some of the pictures on their website appear to differ from what I'm looking at off the bike, could just be the angle of the photo maybe?

The Scura clutch should already be very "light" in operation compared with the usual twin plate set up. A change in the shape of the lever may help, as often the reach required may be uncomfortable for some, particularly in heavy traffic. Raising or lowering the lever slightly may help as well depending on what you find comfortable.

Thanks guys for the info. I've also come across Eagle screens in Australia which make a replacement and may be an option, particularly as Aussie is a little closer to home, making shipping a little cheaper... The carbon fibre option sounds interesting "orangeokie", let me know if you find it, I may be interested. Andy, if you have the numbers handy that would also be appreciated as I can flick them through to our guzzi parts guy and see what he comes back with. I haven't considered genuine parts as yet. The bike is probably shed bound for the next couple of months with winter on it's way. I've a couple of small projects I wish to do on the bike as well as replace the screen.
