Thanks for the pictures @Gmc28 , I can’t say that these rear signals stir up any kind of lust in me to be honest . . . sorry! It IS hard to improve upon a masterful design.

@p6x Still looking for a red Quota?? Here is a nice one in Phoenix, AZ for just under $3k. https://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/bar/d/sun-city-2000-moto-guzzi-quota-1100/7701283388.html

Moto Guzzi already has the V85TT in their current line up - owners satisfaction is running high and I understand it’s doing really well sales wise, so much so that they revamped the upcoming 2024 models - and with the V100 Stelvio coming up, that makes two ADV bikes from the Mandello Del Lario manufacturer. And under the Piaggio group, Aprilia has the Tuareg 660. . . I don’t think we’re gonna see a new Quota anytime soon.

Wasn’t that the plan all along?

Looks like a nice piece of kit for our V11 S. A group buy might make the shipping cost more palatable if we have enough people interested here in the US.

Why not start a new thread??

Not to add fuel to the fire, but here is another pointed report on how Tesla unleashed its half baked (BETA) self driving system to the public and the dire consequences of its misuse by unsuspecting drivers. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2023/tesla-autopilot-crash-analysis/?itid=lk_interstitial_manual_15 We are all road users, you can make what you want of these reports, I personally find them to be compelling and an eye opener on how an automaker with an unregulated emerging technology, gets free to run what is essentially still an experiment on public roads.

Beautiful Bike!! The listing was ended by the seller for "error in the listing" . . . I wonder what the reserve might be?

Very interesting! You surely meant his right hand (or plucking hand)...!?

Either she's a giant or that bike is a 1/3 scale. . . . look at the size of the mirror. . . +6 fingers?? . . . shoddy photoshop!

There is a Brembo part # (110436292) and a MG part # (GU28659378) . . . it shouldn't be too hard. For the sake of clarity and to alleviate confusion for current and future readers looking for references, maybe we could all try to refrain from posting multiple unproven links to replacement parts.

Bummer!! That's the main problem ordering clothing sight unseen, nothing like trying it on and feeling, seeing or even smelling it. . . (leather...!) Add all the different size standards between US, UK and Euro and the added burden of high shipping costs and delays when coming from overseas, you really have to take a chance. Hope the new one fits you right!

Got your six docc!!

Found the reference thread that confirms that...

Wouldn’t it be this one instead? https://www.mgcycle.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=110_112&products_id=5196 From the pictures it looks a lot more like the one you’ve installed.

Hey @docc, while we're here, could you post the reference # for the Brembo clutch MC rebuild kit? Thx!

I am never on higher alert than when going 60/70 mph on the freeway commuter lane with a line of cars in the adjacent lane at a near standstill...

BETA ==> Better For some, no need to go beyond that, read, understand and absorb the fine print . . . Human nature, I believe there is no more mishandling of the smart EV technology than there is of the old analog one. When it comes to any vehicle, even if most people are aware of the fact, nowhere does it ever says your vehicle can be turned into a weapon and destroy life.

Not a "theory" per se Phil, only a supposition... Admittedly, I didn't scour all the different versions of the parts catalog for the 1100 big block engine.

That clamp (#21) shouldn't be there, probably a remnant of earlier models... If you look at the drawing posted earlier, it's not there.

@docc & @Lucky Phil are right. @mikev #4 in the diagram you posted is the sleeve/seal connecting the air intake tube to the airbox. The sleeve connecting the air intake to the TB can be found in the TB diagram - #16

It’s been on the chopping block for a while...

Hahaha, me like that expression . . . borrowing it for my little book of idioms! Cheers Tom!
