docc Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Here is a post by Gary Cheek considering to clamp or not clamp (I'm a nonner) . I learned to totally trust this guy. One of the cognoscenti that I so wish still posted here. [All the images I'm finding of the clamp have fallen to PhotoBlockiit.] http://www.v11lemans...c=9333&p=106156 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footgoose Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 sometimes you just gotta look at it. the clamp install, should you choose to use it, is brain stem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swooshdave Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I chuckled at someone thinking a Guzzi vibrated enough to loosen a well tightened oil filter. Commandos have an external filter and you can bet your sweet it’s got a hose clamp. Because 360˚ twins, especially 750cc+ ones will VIBRATE.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footgoose Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 It means.. it’s so easy, even I can figure it out. I read the thread you linked about the do/don’t hose clamp. It made me want to “drink from the jar” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it challenging to set the timing at 5k rpm, you have the chase the f*cker across the garage! I'm going to start a new thread and let you guys criticize my oil change. Stay tuned.

Scud Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 I put my FBF Crossover and Titanium exhaust (with high-hangers) on the Scura. How funny that I got these pipes for my red LeMans... then the Green tart stole them... then the darkness finally prevailed. She lost 11.5 pounds and sounds lovely. I also put a titanium slip-on on the Husky 701. Ironic that it also has wings on it (Wings is the Australian manufacturer). She lost 6 precious pounds and sounds like a vicious big thumper now - she sounded a bit tame with the ponderous stock pipe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r3datom9 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Can't wait to get a Scura...will be my next V11 addition. Used to want the Cafe Sport, but I really can't stand how the bikini is mounted to the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I had a set of titaniums on Rosie. The sound was sublime.. maybe the best ever. The problem was I couldn't hear her when wearing earplugs. Had to keep giving out test rides just so I could hear her motoring away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Thank you for peeking out the hamn dammer. Somehow, it helps life make more sense . . . And, if it is going to be multiple choice, "titanium" will be the correct response 83.476% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 Can't wait to get a Scura...will be my next V11 addiCtion. Fixed it for ya. Careful what you wish for though - if you do get one, make sure all the "Scura issues" have been addressed or the price is low enough for you to address them yourself. Thank you for peeking out the hamn dammer. Somehow, it helps life make more sense . . . The stock crossover needed to be persuaded off... and the FBF needed some "encouragement" to get all the way on. The FBF and Ti makes such a nice sound. I might have to bell the intakes. I have emptied some mandrels. I love having the pipes up high and tight - and seeing more of the driveline and swingarm. Hey, by the way, I'm quite fond of the this little rolling shop stool / tool box. I sold my Harbor Freight motorcycle lift, because I'm still a roll-around-on-the-floor guy. This little toolbox holds all the basics and keeps the floor clear of tools. And the side trays that fold down have some (weak) magnets that help with small steel parts.
