Lucky Phil Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hey Gritman are those the standard 2 valve headers and exhaust on the 4 valve engine? Ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritman Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 thanks chaps; most of the hard work done and scheduled to pick it up and bring it home at the end of the month Looking forward to sorting out the 15M with Paul M's thread to flash the stock module. That was the final jigsaw piece I was ignoring until the mechanicals were sorted. See, procrastination has its benefits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritman Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 top tip for anyone slotting a v10 motor in a v11 - don't buy new oil cooler hoses, just turn them around so the elbow goes to the cooler and the banjo to the engine feed/return ports. OK, so I'm not that bright, but it only took me an hour of playing around to find out - once I'd got me bike onto the premises! most dejected that the weather is soooooo good and I have no guzzi to ride.

Gritman Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Well its been longer than I'd thought, but back to the build now and hoping for rapid progress. Pic is from a dry assembly to check routings/fixings. Still a few bits to iron out but not too far off eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I mentioned this on the COG site but I am realyy liking the balance of black and silver on this bike (as well as the V10 motor in a V11). I can't wait to hear about the finished product. PS : Which triple clamps did you use for the WP forks? I'm thinking you have the full Centauro front end on there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hagan Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Mind-boggling. Very impressive. Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czakky Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Dayumn! Beautiful. Why'd you suppose Guzzi never did much with that v10 engine? Daytona, Centauro, very few of either of those made. Seems like they are fairly reliable if kept well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritman Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks Guys, I need the encouragement! V observant Jim, the front end is mostly Centauro but retains the V11 triple clamps as the offset is 4mm less thereby reducing the wheelbase by same amount.Still not convinced the Centy mudguard is ideal, but I'll deal with that one later. Just hope I've not overdone it and end up with one of them twitchy monsters that wants to kill you~!And yes Czakky, having run a Centauro for 4 years and fallen in love with the motor, it defeats me why they never put it in the V11, so I had to do it myself - like Jaap and others! Still finishing the house so progress isn't gonna be as fast as I'd like, but the hard work is done. I have retained the 15M ecu and will have to remap it as per Paul Minnaerts work. That should be a steep learning curve for me Anywaysup, at least I'm gettin somewhwere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
