The link shows an external pump and my bikes external pump plastic outlets are white so I assumed its external however the 02 parts manual shows internal pump. Internal aftermarket pump kits are as cheap as chips so that also made me think external.
The issue with the in tank pump is the tank is longer from the fwd mounts to the tune of around 20mm due to the longer frame. I just tried one of my spare internal pump tanks on my bike and it limits the steering lock too much to use but mines reduced as it is with the tank lifted 40 mm at the front anyway.
I dont know about the pump mounting plate. I have one that I could take an image of an give you the dimensions if that helps.
Ciao
I don't have either the internal pump tank or the pump. I was looking at V7 pumps and V11 pumps etc and the mounting plates from the pics is ... similar size.
In typical MG fashion, it would make plenty of sense to use a same size to reduce stock requirements, so I thought it might be possible.
So the tank on a V11 with a internal tank pump and external pump are different lengths....?
Gonna have to check that because it would be a deal breaker for what I want. I have both those bikes, will look tonight. I would assume the Ballabio tank is same as the Cafe Sport tank I have then, both with internal pumps.. The other custom bike is a 2001 V11 Lemans with external pump. I'll have to check frame length but they both have under gearbox mounts and I thought that meant the frame length is the same?

Is this an in tank fuel pump or external?
External there is a cheap bosch fuel pump, I got one for $130AU new from a car parts place.
I was also thinking about getting a tank that takes the in-tank pump and wondered if any of the other models from guzzi took the same pump system/ mounts as they all look roughly the same shape and size where they bolt to the tank from the pics but not sure if identical or just close. Would anyone know for sure?

Lucky Phil, provided your carbon fibre parts are covered in some non conductive coating, laquer etc you may get away with it. Your aircraft parts are correctly built and will have adequate bonding which will disperse any inflight static electricity and help prevent the galvanic corrosion. Raw carbon fibre in contact with al alloy in the presence of an electrolyte (dirty water) will corrode the alloy.
Well.... can't be bothered riding in the rain these days.
I would think that if the carbon is lacquered that will stop the issue.

Hi all,
I was looking at my Cafe Sport and Griso which are nose to tail in my garage at the moment. I had a semi epiphany as it were that the ohlins carbon front guard thats on the Cafe Sport looks like it will line up perfectly with the Griso guard mounts. So then I start thinking if that is the case then other guards will fit the Griso since the Cafe Sport ohlins/Griso are fairly generic and there should be at least a Ducati and aprilia with the same setup.
But getting back to the real question, my customised V11 has a stock guard and I think that guard/mounts are only found on this bike, yes?
If this is the case, has anyone tried fitting another guard and made adapters to suit ?
I'm thinking I will get a Ducati S2R or similar guard and just make a set of adapters as they seem to be easily available CF guards...

So far yesterday on my custom V11
1. added fuel pump/injector relay
2. Placed the regulator with a single phase. I had a modified 3phase from a honda on it.
3. Replaced the pickup sensor for the speedo.
4. pulled the timing chest off so I can replace the cam chain with some of Joe's gears.

Got lucky tonight; changing out the camchain tensioner ( yes I'm still tinkering with that
) as I torqued down the bolts the new, from the hardware store bolt 'gave' more than the other bolts & didn't make the wrench 'click' as quickly as the oem bolts.
Could have been a disaster.
Special stretchy bolts. Did they charge you extra for these ?
What did they say? Back it off half a turn...

A couple of nice points I took away from the article-
Swapping the helical gears in the gearbox for straight cut. Cam is good enough for racing. Valvetrain weakest link. Almost 140hp at around 8500rpm was enough to win against more powerful or lighter bikes because of the power delivery/torque curve. Ride it a different way to get the most out of it (in racing).
One of the most interesting features I gathered from the article is the lack of drag in the drivetrain compared to a chain drive.
Always good to hear from a racer that competed on a budget DIY bike and came up against the odds - a winner. It's a marvelous achievement and one of the admirable features that I loved in the Britten story.

Thanks very much for this great information and advice. I really appreciate it. I’m going to check it out soon, as soon as the seller and myself can find a time to meet from his busy schedule.
Scud, I was following your ST3 and was hoping to get enough money together to check it out, but alas it was gone like a Christmas snowfall.
This one is going for $1500 with the worn clutch....not too bad a gamble, but I have yet to see it in person. I’ll keep you all posted!
The Clutch is one thing. ask when it was last serviced - tappets, belts, air filter oil etc. Not sure how much that costs in the states, but in Aus - that would be the cost of the bike.
$300 for a basket, $150 for clutch plates, 500 for someone to do the tappets (plus 60 per tappet part), 120+ for the belts, oils/filters $150. Plus some labour costs excluding tappets already allowed for. Then theres also chain, sprockets, tyres - potentially $600 there.
Thats just standard service and wear items. If anything needs repair then add that into it.

Yeah, pretty standard for an ST2. Baskets wear on the spines and the rattling and gear shifts get worse.
Barnett do a longer lasting clutch basket and plates to match. On the barnett clutch they have a stainless steel covers over the wearing areas and this helps make them last longer.

FWIW, the Cafe Sport tank is 20mm longer and thats from the front of the tank cap to the back of the frame cutout in the tank. The frames look identical, same mount at the back of the gearbox.
