hello, nice bikes. the valve covers are very beautiful. where can i find them? I'd like to buy them.
You can find them on eBay. Silver here, but I believe the man can powdercoat them red for an extra charge.

No Briggs V-twin? Too heavy or...?

You'll be putting a V11 engine in the nose of that one, right?
Who knows, it might fly...

This may be going too far, colour wise, but you got to admit it is striking. Check it out. The guy did a series of videos showing the transformation, then promptly sold the bike when it was done. Maybe he created a monster. Check out how high the seat is and how low the clip ons!
Stylistically a knockout. It all flows very well visually - the fairing striking me first as too low. Totally unrideable. Now, tail down 15cm and fairing up 15cm and we're talking a rideable, distinctive beauty.

And, of my two PayPal debit card choices, the credit union does not also charge a fee, but the commercial bank does. After all, it is "their" money, right?
EDIT: Since I in fact had not received any product, it could only be sent to a friend. Should something arrive at my door, even better!

Dragging this up from the past, if anyone gets here looking for answers, the gear that sits on the worm drive, and also the connecting gear up to the odometer are identical in the Ducati ST2/ST4/900SS CEV speedo.
The face looks like this:
The trip button is also the same, so it's a good source of 3 spare parts!
Good to know! Do you suppose the entire unit might swap out"?

Probably '03 and later, as is said. The '04 Ballabio (red, BTW), has the 43mm Marzocchi/Sachs combo, and later discs which are reputedly not as prone to warpage. Not bad and the best suspension/brakes I have ever owned - not saying much there. Öhlins no doubt better and more costly to rebuild. Oh, and the '03 and later have the 17/3.5 and 17/5.5 wheels for perhaps a little more rubber option. I think any of the '03 and later bikes would be just fine and about as trouble-free as MG gets.

Have you sent me an email with your mailing address?
In progress! Need funds? I have no trouble sending via PayPal or ??? And time is not an issue.

Just an update. Austin has the cnc tied up for a considerable time making oiler equipment. I'll go ahead and order material and see if I can get blanks made. Don't be in a hurry, though.. I'll get to it eventually.
I am good for one, since my joint flexibility seems to coincide with false neutrals.

It ain't easy being green..
Green, being envious of silver...I have that on good authority.
But, in the CARC the shaft runs through the swinger, does it not? If so, that in itself is a huge leap. Does it have CV joints too?

"Ballabio"?

You're correct , I didn't see the .1 . I am working 4 weeks of nights and I am more incoherent than normal .
Uff da! After 20 chemotherapy and biological drugs over 12 years, I have a T-shirt that says: "I have chemo-brain. What's your excuse?"

You better do some research , DOT 2,3,4 and 5.1 are compatible . DOT 5 is silicone base .
Is that not what I just said? I'm confused.

I have some excellent British SS banjo bolts with bleed nipples. Problem: The circular cavity in the banjo "fitting" rises above the bleed nipple. Unless bleeding fluid flow is rapid so as to carry bubbles along with it, there is substantial chance that some air remains trapped in that bit of cavity in the banjo fitting itself. For that reason, some F1 teams have employed banjo fittings with a vertical bleed nipple - no place for air to hide.

Do use only DOT 4 fluid . DOT 5 is silicone fluid and will not mix w/the other fluids .
Strangely, DOT 5.1 is not silicone, is still glycol-based and compatible with DOT 4. The numbering system is very confusing. In my mind, what is needed is a bleed nipple pointing straight up on the top banjo fitting, which is the high point and which traps air.

Snooping around eBay, I see a right side only carbon fiber Mistral for $135 shipped from New Jersey. Lamentably, the seller has only the right side.

Radical! And, being an '04 motor, it'll stay black instead of morphing into 101 Dalmatians.

A new plate came with my V11. Still breaking it in, and riding fairly easily, so it will go on when the stars align.
V11 Transmission Tapping.

At only 750 RPM, that trans input shaft (cam chain and everything else that rotates) is accelerating and decelerating, much more rapidly - with alternating contact surfaces being impacted, with each cylinder firing event. Deep thinker Kevin Cameron at Cycle World writes of this. As I see it, far better to use the (L) idle screw to get that back up to 1050-1100 or so. This "clanking" can be heard from any internal combustion engine once operating RPM falls below design parameters. For now, raising the idle would seem to be the easiest way to quiet the whole mess down.
