  1. Assuming the failure rate is acceptable the cost could be significant.
  2. If I were to guess I’d say that CaCycleWorks buys those same cheap parts, tests them, puts a custom cap on them and sells them at a profit. They may also need to throw some of them away. Because they show the testing chart indicates that they may not have originally tested and had a bunch come back. Just the thought.
  3. You are probably right. Although if RAM was responsibly for the flywheels I'm sure Guzzi would have come after them and RAM might not be around today. Regardless it looks like RAM learned a lesson and doesn't offer aluminum flywheels.
  4. Maybe try to gather actual interest for the 50 and see how many you can get spoken for. Then look to see where the majority of those people are and then find a partner in that area. No offense but NZ is probably not the hot market for these things.
  5. I find that saving a couple pounds on the Guzzi is like me skipping dessert... in theory a good idea...
  6. That is the pressure plate, not the flywheel? Does it say RAM on the flywheel?
  7. Is that correct? I thought that some models (Scura for example) came with a single plate clutch but it was from Guzzi, not RAM. I believe RAM is an aftermarket company that offers a single plate clutch for most Guzzis and at one point had a clutch for the V11 (and other six speeds) but no longer offers it. http://www.mgcycle.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193&products_id=1698 I could be wrong and RAM was the OEM for the single plate Guzzis. But I don't think so. The fact that the flywheel was the failure point indicates that it was a Guzzi issue. Because... Luigi...
  8. You need to ask how many for 50.
  9. So I did good? Well, it was on the list!
  10. How do you check the float? Putting the multimeter on the battery just shows 13.51v but isn’t that just what the battery is charged to?
  11. 14.21v on charging (on a non-Odyssey battery). I’ll check the float when it’s charged. What did you get on the one you sent back? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Schauer Charge Master CM6A Charger https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BXL2BS4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_QwW6CbP2NPGBD I believe this is th3 least expensive Odyssey approved charger on their list. When I bought it last week it was $62. It’s jumped to $71.
  13. Of course it is. You didn’t think I’d dare post one that wasn’t!
  14. last week I went out to start the bike and a whole lot of nothing. This with a brand new Odyssey. I put it on the Deltran Jr. and it brought it up enough to start the bike. 200 miles of riding recharged the battery. But I knew I need a proper charger so how did I do? Here’s what it automatically set itself at. Does that look right?
  15. Short little video from the show. Enjoy.
  16. You'll have to answer why you didn't park next to me. But yes, I'm glad I didn't have more money on me, there were a couple bikes that may have found a new home.
  17. If Scuras are going that cheap it means the V11s haven’t bottomed our yet. I thought I had a screaming deal at around $3500 but now I’m seeing bikes for less. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Ugh, I want it. Ugh, I can’t get it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. @roktbox Quite the lovely Scura. This one is currently on Craigslist for $3000, take note of the front fender, fairing and luggage rack. I don't need another V11 Sport like this but I kinda do... Three V11 Sports in one place is officially my record. Overhead shot of the Benton County Fairgrounds. Turn out was lighter than usually. Weather on Saturday was rough and although Sunday was beautiful it scared some people away. A couple of the older beauties. If seeing that dog on the back of that bike didn't make me chuckle, watching him pull earplugs out of the dog's ears did.
  20. Short answer is get the 1100 unless you have proof it was rollerized?
  21. Weather should be nice for Corvallis.
