Cross references for V11 Sport fuel tank cap: Aprilia '98-'03 RSV Mille 1000 & '02-'05 Tuono. Givi Tanklock tank ring p/n: BF02 SW-Motech Evo tank ring p/n: TRT.00.640.17500/B SW-Motech Pro tank ring p/n: TRT.00.787.17500/B SW-Motech Ion tank ring p/n: TRT.00.475.17500/B Check out this topic: https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/topic/22036-anyone-successfully-use-one-of-those-quick-release-tank-bag-adapter-rings/ Edit: I removed the Triumph cross references for clarity and because, although the Triumph x-ref. is valid for the Givi Tanklock ring, it might not be for the sw-motech rings. I also added the SWM Ion tank ring for those interested in the Ion line of tank bags.

The V11 Sport also has the same fuel tank filler ring as Aprilias of the same vintage iirc...

Triumph is coming out with a 400 single with a claimed output of 40hp, well 39.5hp to be exact...two models in fact, 400 Speed and 400 Scrambler. Although water cooled, they claim to be lighter in weight than the RE’s. Good looking bikes too and similarly priced, being manufactured in India as well.

There was a mention when I first saw the ad about the owner having all the necessary parts to replace the fluids; oil, oil filters, etc., and that if he were to do the job prior to the sale, the price would go up some... That mention is not there anymore, one can assume that job has been done. The picture of the new oils and filter is still there. It even shows fork oil, so if that was done as well, it would justify the +$300 price adjustment. No mention of the brakes fluid.

Hey @p6x - Here is a red Quota for your consideration - 34k miles, Only $2,800. . . https://fortcollins.craigslist.org/mcy/d/fort-collins-2000-moto-guzzi-quota-dual/7676186895.html

Didn't you add a Scram 411 to your stable at some point?? Still waiting for a ride report...

Have you called Mike at MPH?

It’s always a bit of a hit or miss with Harper’s. Their website is non-functional for the most part despite Curtis repeated claims of upgrading it over the years. Otherwise Harper’s is a great vendor that can sometimes get you parts you cannot find anywhere else. Best way to deal with them is to get Curtis on the phone before you place an order. Edit/PS: I do not know what is currently going on with Harper’s but being an old school family business they have had some hiccups in their service in the past. Good luck with your order!

Might work for you but apparently it doesn’t count if you’re French! I’m out of luck...

Street motorcycle brake rotors DO wear under normal usage. How long does it take for them to wear below the recommended minimal thickness varies, depending on several factors; how aggressively you use your brakes, how much weight is on the bike, mountain roads riding...etc, but most importantly, the pads you're using; aggressive pads will wear the rotors out a lot faster than softer ones. Checking the rotors thickness with calipers only takes a couple of minutes and should be part of routine maintenance. The minimum thickness stamped on the rotors by the manufacturer is a good indication that, as a wear item, they need to be replaced eventually to remain optimally efficient and safe. Can you keep riding a bike with its front rotors worn thinner than recommended? Sure ...would the brakes still operate normally? Probably ...how far are you willing to go to find out the failing point of your main safety component?... Just like you would replace tires long before the rubber is worn through to the cord... or not.

Brake discs (or rotors) have a nominal thickness when new and a minimum thickness under which they are supposed to be replaced. That minimum thickness is usually printed on the disc.

A combination of Defender and Offender...

A sidecar isn’t something I’ve ever consider for myself and I’ve never ridden one but this is a good looking rig. Judging only by looking at all the pictures without any other knowledge about it, it seems like a well appointed machine - except maybe for the awful looking instrument panel. So, with its carrying capacity so much greater than a regular moto, it spurred my imagination of endless backroads camping trips following rivers through forests and mountains accompanied by the kid and the dog.... ** Maybe I’ll get a dog first...

@p6x Not sure your experience proves Marlin’s instruments to be superior to Formotion’s... But that’s all besides the point, when you talk to the boss at Marlin, did you asked him about all the Roos crisscrossing the roads everywhere??...

From dial instruments to grilled meat considerations... Great skidding there folks!!

And only cost a few bucks...(Guzzi content)

You mean like this =>

RBW => Ride By Wire Electronic interface between the GO grip and the engine.

You might want to consider putting it up on BaT if it doesn’t sell through the regular channels. Old originals like that tend to generate quite a buzz over there...

Have you given up on the Quota?...

Another technique for a riding passenger is to put their arms around the driver’s waist and their hands flat on the back of the tank. Results may vary proportionally to the girth of the driver...

Summer deal on Bridgestones running now. Good time to get a set for rainy days. https://www.bridgestonerewards.com

That's a beauty, factory rack, titanium cans and most likely the titanium ecu.

Thanks @docc , did you end up re-installing the original slave with its seals or a spare one?
