So if anyone is looking for a source, start at your local hot-rod tuning shop.
Yes, I already knew about heat shields being used by the Muscle Car/Hot Rod crowd to insulate blowers in turbocharged engine and keep air intake cool, and we used to have a couple of independent shops around here that were great resources for everything automotive. Unfortunately they went the way of the dodo as everything can now be found with a couple of clicks on a keyboard. The trouble with that is you don't get to talk to anyone with any knowledge of - and even less get to see/touch - the product you're buying.
That's why I find personal hands-on experience with a particular product highly valuable.

I got some aluminium foil faced self-adhesive fiberglass insulation sheet that is 1.5mm thick.
That looks like a good replacement for the original heat shield. Does it have a product name/brand and where did you source it?

Perhaps someone with the later, internal pump/filter long tank can confirm the heat shielding was still being applied?
Yes, the heat shield is present on the long tanks as well and like you said, it has a tendency to loose adhesion and come off at the edges. I’d actually be curious to know what kind of glue anyone has used to stick it back on and how well it held up.
And if anyone has ever replaced it, what type of material was used for it.

Hey, ski jumping!!
That reminds me of home, where is that?

I think it has to do with product safety testing and licensing requirements for manufacturers to sell in the US. It is an expensive and long process and probably not worth it to them for such a small market item. And they would have to do it for each and everyone of the different iterations of the same type stand for all the bikes models...
Somehow, vendors are able to circumvent that and import and sell these stand as MG Cycles does.

I recently bought a Becker stand directly from Becker.
FYI - Becker doesn’t ship to US.

I'm still in hopes of someone posting that they have used the GU05001231 and what their experiences with it have been.

Paging @Lucky Phil to the white courtesy phone...
Art, I assume you've read the post docc referred to earlier in the thread - that’s a pretty good endorsement for the newer gasket imo.

^^^^^^^^^ +1 on the Becker Technik!
I got mine (2 actually, one for the V11 and one for the Griso) from SD as well, and I like ‘em.
I’ve never had any issues with SD, they tend to keep good stock, often have better pricing once you take the VAT off and they ship lickity-split. I don’t remember what kind of instructions came with them but it’s not too hard to figure out, and if in doubt, there is lots of info to be found here and on the interweb. @activpop might even send you a copy of his in english if you ask nicely
PS: SD ships from Germany at a flat rate so it is advantageous to order any parts you might need at the same time.

I kinda like the looks of Guzzi 's latest iteration (GU05001231) as shown in the previous post.
Where did you source the timing chest cover gasket #GU05001231?
I checked the usual MG vendors and it doesn’t seem to be of the garden-variety type item.

This is going to be a first for me, doing this type of exercises with a +500 lbs motorcycle.
Good luck and most importantly... have fun!

Shin Etsu grease (has a Honda part #) for rubber.
"Plastic" can mean a lot of different things, but generally I use "210" spray cleaner/polish for "shiny" plastics.
I love to learn about products I’ve never heard about before, “210” is a new one for me.
There is another Honda product that works well for plastics, “Honda Spray Cleaner & Polish”.
And they are both a lot cheaper (Guzzi content) than “Plexus”..

Currently hunting for something new that fits with a 2002 time piece.
Hey Paul, have you checked Formotion? They have nice instruments designed for motorcycle and such at Timex prices (Guzzi content).

If you look at the part catalog for the Griso, which has the clutch bleeder extension pipe, you’ll find the right banjo bolt methink. All the other parts you listed are correct.

Hopefully Scud will be along to confirm.

You will need to swap the bearings and the inner spacer in order to fit the Öhlins axle.

Ok, let’s drift....
A real sundial is built on the ground, not attached to the house.
But if you really wanted to....

Unless you purchase an A. Lange & Söhne
Or you could buy a house with a sundial for the price of one of their timepieces...
You wouldn't have to worry about grit bringing it to a halt and it would still indicate time a thousand years from now
