V11 headers with crossover

[orangem2]

Whoever came up with that POS design should be banned from Italy

The crossover is complete crap and the sorry excuse for gaskets just as bad

I will wait for a clean set of headers with NO crossover instead of installing that garbage

There... i feel better

Yeah, returning to the original header design should be considered an "upgrade" on several levels.

You have any idea why that diagnostic cable would not fit?

I can only suspect the ebay seller got it wrong. They should take it back and make refund.

IIRC, it as "Fiat/Lancia" diagnostic cable? The most reliable supplier over the years has been Lonelec ("London Electric?) in the UK.

Yup, and they make removing and installing the alternator cover a lot harder than it should be too.  Mistral makes cross over-less header pipes.  I recently got rid of my originals with the cross overs.  MG cycle sells/distributes them in the USA.  I have a set of solid metal shims that replace the crappy gaskets in the original x-overs that I will post in the classified soon for sale.

Doubt there's a market opportunity for it at this late date, but shortly after Guzzi unveiled the (2v) Griso, I was certain that there would have been more than a few V11 owners who would have liked to upgrade their bikes w/ the manky front x-over headers to the swoopy Griso style 2->1 job. Ah well, lost opperknockities....
