"Older models"??

Here is confirmation, of sort, that we got the right connector for our TPS: https://www.corsa-technic.com/item.php?item_id=313 And yeah, I think Sonoma, Napa or Petaluma would make a good base for a Norcal SpineRaid...

It was just pure luck and none of it would be possible without Google... But it also wouldn't be a proper Guzzi forum if we weren't chasing the cheapest prices available (Guzzi content)... Although at 99¢ a piece you're gonna have to order 26 units to get free shipping, just saying... I'll send you a self addressed envelope if you end up with a couple of extra ones...

@docc, I see you've edited your earlier post following the info I provided, but the part # you gave does not correspond to anything on that page... (C Part No: 12052641 (Black/Green Seal) OTOH, if it's only the seal you're after... Here: https://www.customconnectorkits.com/12162280/

I don't have the bike nor the Casper breakout harness nearby to check, but referring to the picture you posted earlier, that would be a Metri-Pack 150.2 series connector, found on page 76 of that pdf. Unfortunately there is no detailed drawing/datasheet but only nominal dimensions. However, it references all the specs between the different part numbers associated to each type of connector.

Found this; it might be helpful. https://www.mouser.com/pdfdocs/Delphi_Metri_Pack_150_Series_Section.pdf

Here is another source for the Superseal 1.5 series connectors. Cheap prices and no minimum. https://www.mouser.com/c/connectors/automotive-connectors/?series=Superseal 1.5&instock=y&pg=2

One of our member here, @stewgnu, created a color wiring diagram a while back. Although your bike is an earlier vintage, you might find it useful.

It’s actually only recently that the maximum file size you can upload has been increased to 1.46MB, it used to be only 200KB which was a real pita. It has been a great improvement!

The crossover pipes connecting the headers are factory standard on ‘03 - ‘04 V11’s models. They are sealed at the joints with graphite gaskets and are known to loosen up overtime and rattle... Check out this thread, you might find it instructive.

You ought to think DS or SM and not 2CV...

Another photo recently published by a UK V100 owner of paint flaking off the crankcase and discovered after only one week of ownership... There has been many reports online of this happening, mostly on euro bikes. Early production teething pain? What is Piaggio to do about it?

Here is one of the most recent discussion on the subject. It’s about the tachometer but I think you will find useful information in there on how to go about opening up and repairing instrument gauges.

Sorry mate but reading your post I couldn’t help thinking, how much help can this be?

Hmm... I believe this discussion is about fuel line QD connectors... not spark plug boots. You might wanna fix that title @docc, but maybe not until you get a good night rest...

Welcome back @docc, hope you’ve had a good raid!

WOW! That’s impressive! And it looks like you’ve taken really good care of it.

The separation might not have been so “recent” if that mop is any indication...

Until you start it... and ride it...

Evolution...

This is not so much an add-on as it is more of a complete transformation emphasizing the “sport” in V11 Sport and a racy "exercise de style", away from factory constrained production and only meant to exist in very small numbers. As you said they(G-B) are artists but what's more important to me is they are keeping the V11S relevant by using a 20+ years old platform and bringing it into today's world. Dgmw, I love the classic look of my V11CS but this is like a modern sportbike with an old soul. I think there is room for that! It's a good thing we don't all have the same taste... life would be so dull...

@guzzler I'm with you on the original classic timelessness of the V11s but I really like what they've done in preserving the V11S old bones and turn it into a modern looking machine. Imo it looks much better than most modern sportbikes out there in great part because of it's classic pedigree. To me, it has a certain appeal(un je ne sais quoi) that none of the origami/praying mantis designs we see nowadays on much of the production bikes hold. They actually produce a bolt-on kit to transform any V11S into this "Supersport". Finding a cheap donor bike with a good drivetrain to build on would be a fun project, albeit probably not a cheap one... better start playing the lottery... And to hell with those damn creaking knees...

Yeah, certainly not for creaky old men, although I'm pretty sure the little training wheels showed in the picture are removable...
