The Italian saga never disappoints - and if it does, not permanently. With a storied racing history the various Morinis have always held my attention. As expected the company's solvency and production has always resembled an EKG printout. When the 1200 came out, I was extremely interested, but they are avoiding North America to this point. Now they have a 660cc 270 degree parallel twin that seems suspiciously similar to Aprilia's. ADV and a standard about to be introduced. Just wondering if any of the Guzzisti are also Morinisti?

If it is restricted to a relatively small area, some of the more volatile chemicals can be used on a Q-tip or cotton swab. I have found that some experimentation is needed to remove various stains. If it can soak, it will come off better, but how to soak fins? Maybe soak a strip of paper towel and wrap it around the fin.

One on eBay for about 250US or so. Couple of scratches as I recall. Think it's from a Ballabio. but, there's that whole border thing. Getting out of Canada? I was just thinking of going there! Oh, wait...

A shock bumper. Intended to keep the shock shaft/spring collar etc. from damaging the shock body at full travel. They all seem to be made of a semi-porous polymer, the advantage of which is that the porosity allows them to crumble from the inside out. Here is a link to a site which seems to be bumper central. https://www.resuspension.com/bump-stops/ohlins.html That's the good news. The bad is that one must removed the spring, collar and anything else on the shaft in order to install it. If you live anywhere near a bike suspension shop (often dirt bikes), they do this all the time.

Right you are! I guess "C" code was better than "inline 6" code.

271HP or 306 if the buyer paid the big bux.

C-code means 289 Hi-Po?

Hasn't had it long but is moving it down the road. OooooK. On another forum I just did a little sneak-n-peak into a sporting goods website with amazing prices and everything in stock...

In any event, I pity the buyer who joins here.

Surmising that 'coil power' somehow relates to the force applied to the contact points? Where's Ryland3210 now that we need him?

No FB account so no access. Where is it for sale and how much? Almost willing to bet it has a salvage title.

Can't find it on eBay, Craigslist or Offerup. Can anyone copy and paste the FB info?

Did the '02 have above-the-triple clipons? Aren't the injected pre-V11 bikes the 1100i - which would be worth more than the V11?

I refuse to do FB. However, it has the wrong rotors and front brake master - crash replacements?

But not if it requires Tyco or Omron relays... Another spec sheet, from tomorrow not today components. https://www.todaycomponents.com/pub/media/datasheet/G8HE-1C7T-R-DC12.pdf

Thank you. Got lazy there...

Do you know if the "R1" relays are the same functionally, save for that wider blade in the middle position? If so, I can just trim the blade.

The advantage of non-resister wires is that you can mess with those irritating thumpin' car stereos in traffic.

I bought a pair of these. And it's 'RACING CABLE"! The CR6 is one meter long. There is also a CR4 at 50cm, but that would be too short. https://www.ebay.com/itm/273921096472?epid=171310303&hash=item3fc6f83b18:g:IIUAAOSwQ8xdI574

We must be on similar latitudes, as the rain is falling here as well. Having had two lumbar spine surgeries as well as the right knee, I know that the recovery period is one of the most down times for a rider. Yet, will come the day that inflammation releases its grasp on that last nerve and you once again have confidence. Have a bicycle? That is my other two-wheeled activity which keeps me in some semblance of shape for the motorized kind.

I have been thinking about an accessory right sidestand. Then, it could only steam roller me when I fall.

Quite right about a tipped over V11. Last time I surprised myself by dirt riding on a street bike, I ended up with my right boot pinned under the right muffler as it leaned 45º against an embankment. Riding at night with cataracts - now gone. Was only a 400 pound bike (180 Kg or so) and only halfway over, but my collarbone, shoulder and several ribs were broken. So, I waited until a fellow noticed me and helped lift the bike. A short but memorable ride home. Wife examined me, found where I was not injured and promptly kicked me there.

After knee surgery in 1994 or thereabouts, I had to re-learn trusting my knee. After finishing PT and some time of cautious use, one day, it no longer hurt to squat down. Very fortunately, it has been fine ever since. As we age, it is both normal and healthy to ponder our abilities and to self-critique if possible. At 69, I am otherwise a train wreck. Currently nursing my right ankle, which was sprained and now has plantar fasciitis. More present in my thoughts is the osteoporosis, and the diabetic/chemo-induced neuropathy from cancer treatment and immune suppression. Being clumsy by nature, I am more graceful riding than walking. I am riding for now, but as it is with life itself, I know the end is eventually coming. The key is fighting it rather than denying it.
