V11 Lemans Rack - New, never installed. $275. Also, have V11 bar end weights from a 2003 Ross Corsa as well as dealer point of sale literature. Rack is also listed on EBay.

I drilled into the bottom of the foot on my '97 to add some material (a bolt head) and discovered that the leg is actually steel cast inside the aluminum body. I'm far more worried about bending/breaking the mount than the leg itself.

Fit beautifully and really like the looks now! I did not lose any performance removing the front crossover and matched up nice with the Guzzi titanium race kit.

I like the C.B. Docc has on his bike. the good thing about the factory set-up on mine , it will never fail because I will never ride them. The one thing I have is the fuses w/the LED that glow when the fuse fails. Expensive , yes. GREAT , YES .

I did not, but that's perfect!

@Jaide, did you see this just came up?

This topic has been thrashed to bits. The 30 Amp fuse holders do overheat, mine got so hot the fuse welded in place I remember as an apprentice when crimp lugs first came out the inspector might ask you to solder the lug after crimping I doubt anyone does that these days. I advocate dipping the bare wires in Vaseline before crimping this ensures the copper doesn't corrode if the joints get wet A short length of heat shrink tubing over the lug and end of the insulation to keep water out. If you use white heat shrink you can identify the wire with an indelable pen before shrinking it down with hot air gun making it easier to troubleshoot. When I re-wired my 72 Eldorado I used all black wires and identified them this way. https://www.amazon.ca/STAEDTLER-Lumocolor-Superfine-Permanent-Waterproof/dp/B00R64NE42/ref=asc_df_B00R64NE42?

Isn’t that a personal question?

Billy Joel rides a Moto Guzzi . This is Billy Joel PERIOD

They are printing money every day . They are not making any more of these.

The caveat emptor express has been doing its thing. Hard to trust a rescue bike sometimes.

That's interesting. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, I would have guessed a casting, too. I know there are castings that are non-magnetic and not aluminium, but my impression is that that is usually some sort of muck metal that doesn't hold up to much. The side-stand is a highly stressed part, ergo probably aluminium as you wrote.

Hi @drossell7 I had posted my interest for the luggage rack when you first mentioned it at the time you were selling the Rosso Corsa back in March 2024 and followed with a PM. You never responded, so I thought you had probably sold it with the bike… Well, I’m still interested - please check your PM from March 2024 - Thanks!

I did. Nonmagnetic. The forming lines look like a casting to me, but I know forging can makes lines (seams) like that, as well.

Aluminum, me thinks. Looks like a casting to me.

Great find...the rack is hard to find, and a brand new one to boot! Jump on it!

Comparing the VIN # on this one to mine, we are 17 apart... Mine is #287, so this one might be #269 or #270. Bike sounds good, valves seem quieter than mine, looks like I may need to go a bit tighter again! I wonder if it has the 3k cough...but it sounded great! If it sells for $7K, that would be great for us Scura collectors! Batman lives...at the home of Robin(son).

I'd love to buy it if you're willing to ship it to the Netherlands!

The Scura is a righteous looking bike. It looks like it should be in a Batman movie.

YouTuber videos, amirite?

That's very good, and a bit funny. Nitpicking: I'm fairly convinced that the video is a "playback" video, i.e. pictures recorded after the fact. The stereo image doesn't match what one sees in the video. Not really important, but I can't help myself.

Looks like the factory wire "lever" is ~110mm, offset about 64mm for its curve around the exhaust. Obviously too long to prevent the leverage from breaking the mounting points, eventually.

24.302mm I don't have a tang so you'll need to find one and measure it. They are pretty long so it's not much of a comparision.

the 30 Amp fuse melting is caused by resistance. heat is caused by resistance x the current squared sometimes this will weld the fuse in place. in this case it has melted the plastic, it might have also taken any tension out of the contacts in which case you may have to provide a new fuse holder. I seem to recall this was a common fault when I first started posting on this site years ago and i may have had the problem on my VII Sport

@swooshdave, what is the length of your tang (relative to the wire "lever")?

Yes, I agree... that sounds completely impractical. Your yoga instructor must be very proud. But the wire tang will probably last longer if you deploy by hand and not by foot.

Cool. Lovin' some Spanish Moon John Scofield style . . .

A "Well Known Fact". Comes up in conversation with my wife regularly. There is no rebuttal to a WKF, it is gospel. Once the immortal WKF is pronounced no further arguments will be considered Phil

Not mine. I just had the pleasure of riding it today. Michael has been doing a lot of work on this beast for its owner, (Who is a member here.) Apart from the cracked flywheel talked about elsewhere. It had lots of horrid little issues, and a few larger ones. Forks seals were shot, lots of missing fasteners and stuff, non existent state of ‘Tune’, buggered camchain tensioner, gearshift spring was changed prophylactically. Tuned and mapped. Anyway it’s passed it’s test. It is lovely! I took it for a brief flog, (It’s only 7*C here today!) it was like riding an angry dinosaur! Despite the missing fasteners and mechanical foul ups heaped upon it in the past it’s paint and plastic etc. is in outstanding shape. What a lovely motorbike?!

Reading through this thread and coming to appreciate the importance of a good ground. I've just ordered a surfeit of earth straps so I can connect everything to everything else. :-)
