Scud Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Cool that you were able to get a steel flywheel for single-plate clutch. Let darkness reign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroysch Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Found some room to mount a GPS. Clears the fairing and no interference lock-to-lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdogger Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I bled the clutch and both brake resevoirs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Leroy - you can get a RAM ball that screws in where a mirror stalk would normally go. That makes a super-clean installation with no additional clamp around the bars. Just pop out that rubber plug, I think it's an M10 thread (but that's from memory so you should check first).

leroysch Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Appreciate the thought, Scud. I tried that first with my best simulant of a RAM ball (some washers on an appropriately threaded bolt). Using what I had..and doing the eyeball extrapolation....I wasn't convinced getting a stand-alone ball was going to allow the GPS (Garmin 66X) to clear the fairing.

Scud Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 I ran a Garmin 60CX on my LeMans without hitting the fairing - used a long arm and aimed it inboard toward the steering stem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I mean, what good is planning a ride without pulling your V11 down the week ahead? https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=15908&p=231744 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 DeCaliforniaized a bunch of rusty/corroded fasteners on the Mighty Scura with a kit from Stainless cycle. Looks a nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Today was way chilly for a shakedown ride. Windchill of 33-35ºF at 60 mph. Went anyway. Just 65 miles interrupted by eggs&bacon then BBQ later. There was coffee involved . . . Back in the Hound'sToo'th, I performed a proper wipe down and pre-ride inspection (for next weekend's run-up around the lakes of mid-Kentucky). Looking to roll over 107,000 miles. No solvents required to wipe off the rear wheel! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlock Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Doc, that’s a bit on the cool side but at least you got out. Just curious....if there’s more than two Guzzi's parked at he same place is that considered a rally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really do draw admirers parked together! @Chuck . . . Looking forward to some splatter and drip-free miles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scud Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Tested charging on the Scura today. Why? Because when I last attempted to ride it three weeks ago it took a long time to start, then it died about 1/4 mile from the house. A quick investigation revealed a slightly deformed (not totally melted) 30 amp fuse. I replaced the fuse, and verified that it's not overcharging (14.something volts at 4,000 rpm). So, not being sure about the cause of the overheated fuse, I blasted out for an "Italian Tune-Up." She ran great and restarted easily after stops for gas and at Cycle Gear. At Cycle Gear (where I got some new summer gloves) I was approached by a "stereotypically-dressed" Harley rider who was curious about the Moto Guzzi. He said he always wanted one, but was worried about reliability. I tried to steer him toward a V11-engined cruiser, such as an EV/Bassa/California, etc. He loved the sound of the Scura with FBF crossover and Titanium pipes. But I'm still nervous about that fuse and not sure why it overheated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
