Hi Docc, Thanks and thanks for the help & advice! Of note, is that opening the throttle plates to get idle speed is more important than CO and the air screws. If you had to open your air screws more than a full turn to get your target idle, opening the throttle plates to 3.6º my make her even happier. Funny thing here was that I got the smoothest idle at 3.4 (tried 3.1 through 3.7)and the air screws are for sure less than one turn out. I started at one turn out and turned them in to get idle down to 1200 or so and balance at the same time. Yeah, this whole thing has been a big learning exeperience for me since I've never used Guzzidiag prior to last month! Anyway, thanks again, I'm happy and now can enjoy the bike! Art

I think finally resolved my timing sensor leak! It appears that two small divots on the very top of the molded rubber housing were weeping oil. So, yes, I believe the oil was migrating up through the center of the sensor. I cleaned/wiped off all the residual oil from the molded rubber housing, cable sheath & coil body. Then placed a drop of penetrating loctite on the two divots, sheath & molded rubber junction and on the business end of the sensor. I then slathered moulded rubber area & sheath junction with JB weld. Installed a new oring ....after a few hundred miles it ain't leaked, seeped, weeped yet. I hope it holds up, it looks like these are well over $100.

My goodness. They did send me the alt cover. I have to admit that it's a pretty piece, smooth clear coat, solid thick and light as carbon fiber. I think it is a carbon fiber sandwich over fiberglass real carbon fiber. It even matches the carbon weave on the Guzzi headlight fairing. I suppose that I shouldn't brag until I try to install it but looks gorgeous out of the box. (I wonder if they make Ducati parts?) It only took them 4 months but they did deliver.

Did someone say they didn't like bar end mirrors? They give the absolute best view behind you but they do add to the width.

Wrapped about 90% my 115,000 mile service (5,000 oil/filter/tune-up and 12,000 mile tank-off fuel and air filters). Fork oil change remains. Learned a few things and will try to post them in the right places. Rolled about 150 miles for a shake down ride. Over 90ºF/30ºC here today, so had a nice little picnic at a lovely spot nearby, Berlin Spring . . .

From what I see on their website, they have two versions. Yours is the CF / Fiberglass composite. The purely CF version is $99. Let us know how the install and fit goes. Thinking of ordering one as well 😁

It's what Pete would call "a right front bottom of a job."

Hard rain in Norway all this weekend, how about Sweden? Have you installed the new spring? I have plans to replace the spring myself... I have so many plans[emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can't recall for sure, but I think you can loosen the airbox boots first, and push them inwards to the airbox. If so, there should be space enough to pull the TB's out of the boots on the cylinder. If not, you may have to remove the airbox. I did that. I guess users with much more experience than me would chime in.

I absolutely love those mirrors[emoji1] Norton looks gorgeous! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great job on the Norty Dave

I can say for sure the r/h sensor in the first image is for the airbox ambient temp sensor. Ciao

Life is so much easier when you know someone who has a lathe. Any chance you have a drawing for the stem nut?

I leave the boots in real hot water for a bit,, and use a dishwashing liquid called Zalo over here,, some green stuff from the misses dep. Cheers tom.

Its easier to fit the manifolds to the throttle bodies and then bolt the whole lot to the heads. Ciao

Right side connector is the temp sensor located in the stock air box left side connector is fuel level gauge at least on my bike they are Andy

I bought a Zumo 396LMT-S for mine, the screen is a good size for me and it does everything I need it to do..and only a power cord to deal with..I attached the power to the Key operated parking light source and then cut it about 18 inches from the end installed an AMP connector just behind the gauges and top triple so I could easily remove the whole set up when not in use. I Had a friend machine a new Billet Steering Stem nut with a 19mm open top and enough space to machine to get a 30 mm wrench on it to tighten. I found this Ram mount on the UK site " The Visor shop", I don't see them even listed anywhere in the USA...it took about 10 days to receive it. All went together very solid and I like it because it doesn't get in the way of the ignition and is right in the line of sight with the gauges

Hey Vic, the reproductions made by EMGO are exact replicas, and very nice. I can't tell the diff, but for a small 'EMGO' at the bottom. I use them after scratching/breaking originals. These are 'likely' EMGO and they may be found cheaper. http://www.mgcycle.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=41&products_id=3016

Maybe some bar end mirrors...
