My Mistral Carbon cans are for sure a larger weave than the bodywork on the Café Sport as well. Sounds like the 1x1 is the way to go. Thanks for the research FreyZI!

I’m still in. I’ve still got an outstanding open question on what weave/finish will match the factory CF bodywork on the Cafè Sport though. I’d hope to get that answered before I had to make a decision. thanks so much for keeping it going!

Hi all, I've been away for quite a while and just discovered this thread and would be very interested in adding this bespoke piece to my Café Sport! I don't have that bike near me and can't measure the weave or remember the finish to say definitively what options I should chose. Does anyone have an idea on the closest match to the OE Carbon fiber and if any of the options come close?

Payment sent. Thanks Scudder!

Please put me down for 2. As always, Thanks Chuck!

I presume you are also performing LuckyPhil's "Shift Improvement" modifications? Yes, thats the plan. I have a new selector that I've straightened and dressed in preparation as well as all new springs, the McMaster bearing upgrade, replacement seals, and other goodies I've discovered while scouring all the valuable info here. Not that shifting has been terrible, but while I'm in there doing preventative maintenance replacing the selector return spring, why not.

Thanks so much for knocking this out Chuck! Now my shifter improvement project will be complete. This will match nicely with my best ever, super deluxe, properly engineered, belts and suspenders shift return spring.

@MartyNZ, Are you volunteering these efforts for NZ and perhaps Australian orders? I'll let Chuck comment on how he wants to handle lower 48 distribution if so, if we can get to the min order quantity of course. Looks like we've got some work to do to get to 10 orders. As far as I can tell we have 3 so far: Stumble_t: 1 bbolesaz: 1 Ian : 1

Heya gang, In preparation for my installation of this new spring I figured I try to find one of Chuck's modified shifter linkage extender plates as outlined in this thread to dial things in shifting wise and further support the wisdom and ingenuity of those that contribute to this Guzzi community. Chuck has been kind enough to potentially offer another run of those if we can get 10 spoken for in a group buy (thanks Chuck!). I though I'd post this here considering the attention this thread generated and the related nature of the part. If anybody is interested maybe we can post in the above linked thread? Apologies if anybody finds this is an inappropriate request or the wrong place to post.

This is a long shot, but considering my upcoming replacement of the new and improved shift selector spring, I figured I'd try to round that install out nicely by installing one of these bad boys as well. Is there any chance there's one available? Maybe someone has one lying around that never got installed? Spring '18 group buy perhaps? Thanks all!

Paypal for 2 springs and PM Sent Scud. Many many thanks!

I'm about 210 with gear. I'm going to have a talk with my suspension guy on Tuesday now that I have a clear idea where sag is. I might either replace both springs with a 10.0N/mm or just use an 11N/mm in one fork and leave the stock one in the other. I'll see what he says.

I've discovered 2 heavier springs available than the 10.0N/mm while searching for replacement springs for my Cafe' Sport. I don't see a distinction on internals for the Scura, so please disregard this info if I am misinformed. Here is a breakdown of the 04745 I found while scouring the interwebz. 04745-65 Ohlins Fork Spring 240/28.7/37.5/4.4/6.5/157 04745-70 Ohlins Fork Spring 240/28.5/37.5/4.5/7/155 04745-75 Ohlins Fork Spring 240/28.3/37.5/4.6/7.5/154 04745-80 Ohlins Fork Spring 240/28/37.5/4.75/8/145 04745-85 Ohlins Fork Spring 240/28/37.5/4.75/8.5/149 04745-90 Ohlins Fork Spring 240/27.7/37.5/4.9/9/140 04745-95 Ohlins Fork Spring 240/27.7/37.5/4.9/9.5/145 04745-10 Ohlins Fork Spring 240/27.5/37.5/5/10/139 04745-05 Ohlins Fork Spring 240/27.5/37.5/5/10.5/140 04745-11 Ohlins Fork Spring 240/27.5/37.5/5/11/134 The -90 spring is the one fitted stock according to this Ohlins page. The Cafe' Sport uses the FG313 Fork. Does the Scura use the FG847? Either way, they spec the same spring. According to AF1, the -95 was stock in many Aprilia models. It seems they carry the -05, -10, and -11 but it looks like the -05 are special order. I hope this is helpful info.

Today I removed the forks and shock so they can go in for a service and a re-spring for my weight. At 40mm rider sag in front and preload maxed out, I think a stiffer set of coils are in order. The rear was about the same at max preload. I also removed all the controls in preparation for fitting some clip-ons. Here's some before and after pics of todays work.
