  2. Here is what I used to polish the exhaust system... this is some of the best metal polish we use in the piano business (and it works great on motorcycles too!) Master Formula Metal Gloss (Fullerton,CA (714)238-1129) Non abrasive and leaves a great shine. The Macallan is for after your done. Franco 2002 V11 Scura L.A. CA BTW, what is the SCURA REGISTER?
  3. Thanks all for the welcome and suggestions. mgcycle is sending out my first order of parts... the guy is pretty knowledgeable about the bikes which does help a lot. My Ducati dealer (Proitalia) just welcomed Moto Guzzi back on board a few weeks ago, but they will not be servicing the bikes until they tool up and do some training seminars for the techs there. To their credit,they would not make a service appointment for the bike until they are ready to work on them efficiently. Seems as though I can do most of the work myself apart from major engine work. This bike is so basic front to back I am not afraid to try most projects.... My ducs on the other hand are a bit more complicated! Reading through the site I was able to make my own filter cover removal tool, and MG is sending me new oil filters and socket. I wanted to order a fuel filter, but it looks like I need to check what is in the bike first... The bike may or may not have come with a threaded-end filter. My next cosmetic project will be to fit some slimline Ducati LED turn signals front and rear. They are tiny, but super, super bright. You can see them a mile away easy! Not at all like most of the aftermarket cheap stuff. Thanks again for the help and encouragement. Franco 2002 V11 Scura L.A. CA
  4. Hi all, I recently picked an '02 V11 Scura with 4100 miles on it. My current ride is an '08 S4RS Tri Colore Ducati, and my wife is on an '07 1098S. The Guzzi is definitely a "different" ride, but nonetheless a blast to run around on. This forum has been outstanding in practical information on maintaining this bike (I have already stripped and repainted the engine block bubbling paint...it was a pain, buit it looks like new now. Thanks to all that contributed to those threads!). The Exhaust was removed and polished, and all the fluids have been changed. I have more plans for some mods (bar end mirrors are going on soon... I stole the old mirrors from my Monster and stuck them on the Scura for now). I would like to know if anyone has suggestions on obtaining Carbon Fiber components for this bike. I am specifically looking for a CF piece to replace the stock rear seat cowling which is a bit dinged up. And, if there is a good place to order online or otherwise stock pieces for the bike (Air filters, oil fliters, cv boots, fuel filters, etc.) suggestions would be appreciated. It seems the "Guzzi World" is a bit lacking in aftermarket parts and suppliers! Even the dealerships seem a bit foggy to me. If any of these questions are redundant, forgive me... I try using the "search" feature on this forum, but it leaves a lot to be desired. Thanks for any and all the help! Franco 2002 V11 Scura L.A. CA
