  1. 2002 V11 Le Mans in NY - $4,200. https://newyork.craigslist.org/jsy/mcy/d/leonia-2002-moto-guzzi-v11-lemans/7611689851.html
  2. 2010 Stelvio for sale near me, $6.4k, looks clean, low mileage but no mention of it being rollerized. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mcy/d/richmond-moto-guzzi-stelvio/7613042071.html
  3. This is at least the third iteration of Guzzidiag interface cables from Lonelec. This is what their original model looked like, somehow I ended up with 2 of those and they work just fine. Afaik there’s never been a problem connecting to Guzzidiag with cables sourced from them.
  4. Looks like you should have received 1 usb cable with the KL-1TALIA kit according to Lonelec description. Contents: 1 x KL-1TALIA Interface with 3 pin FAL plug. 1 x USB cable (A, Micro or C). 1 x DC power plug with battery clips 1 x Installation instructions.
  5. Another option for the front brakes pads is Brembo 07BB1907 — Blue backing / Organic Carbon Ceramic compound.
  6. Glad I could be of assistance @docc Might be worth a post in the "Encyclopedia of Compatible Parts". Along with the ones you mentioned from MG Cycles. And the ones @motoguzznix recommended.
  7. The bike has been sold, I’m assuming the ads were removed. Are you a member on WG? If not, you might have to be to access the classified there.
  8. I think you mean 4mm I.D. no? Source?
  9. It is odd the way they crack in a long fine line but not really following any markings on the sidewall or it’s radius. Is the last one from the same batch as the first? Bad compound on a small batch series? I would contact Pirelli and take those back to the place of purchase. And stay away from them Demon-iac hoops!
  10. I remember when one of my neighbors rolled in with one of the first Honda CB750 Four, certainly the first this 10 years old had ever seen. Golden metallic, chrome everywhere, and this enormous engine with 4 long sweeping exhaust pipes distilling this otherworldly soundtrack... that pretty much set me up for becoming a lifelong motorcycle aficionado.
  11. Ok, my "proper" first real motorcycle... 16 years and a few days old, A1 license in my pocket, I now can legally ride a bike up to 125cc on the street. Between the money I had been squirelling away from Christmas, birthdays, a few odd jobs and the proceeds from selling ice cream on the beach for a couple of summers, I was able to buy a brand spanking new Yamaha DTMX 125. It'll be 2 years and a full license until I can "legally" ride any motorcycle on the street with no restrictions, but those 2 years were filled with countless adventures and proved highly formative as a young rider, on the street as on the dirt. I loved every minutes of it.
  12. "Could you please put it in my pannier."
  13. An Australian and an American walk into a French bakery. The Australian says....
  14. I feel you mon Ami, that's a panier:
  15. When you wrench on your own bike - or any other such endeavor for that matter - trying to get all the information that you can will help you tremendously to achieve proper results, but remember, information is not knowledge, you need to build your own...
  16. nos·tal·gia| näˈstaljə, nəˈstaljə | noun A sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations. 14 years old, I was finally getting a real taste of freedom when I graduated from a bicycle and was legally allowed to ride a "Cyclomoteur" on the street... without a license. I literally lived on the darn thing and loved it, from taking me to school in the morning to meeting with my friends afterwards at the café and going on adventures on the week-ends. And when summer came, we'd load them up and go on multi-days camping trips in the backcountry... lots of fun memories. The Italians had Vespas, we had Motobécane, Velosolex and Peugeot. The Peugeot 103 was ubiquitous in the streets of France in the 70's and would become the most sold moped in the world. It was the most popular model back then and has retained a cult following to this day. The Peugeot 103 celebrated its 50 years anniversary in 2021. Here is an article in honor of the event - Sorry but it's in French. https://www.mobylette-mag.fr/4890-peugeot-103-le-cyclomoteur-le-plus-vendu-dans-le-monde.html
  17. That was indeed...... refreshing! I don't know what Maurice would think of it...
  18. That makes 2 for Design Engineering, Inc. They seem to have some good products. Two of them look like they would be appropriate for the replacement of the heat shield under the fuel tank. Reflect-A-Cool: https://www.designengineering.com/reflect-a-cool-24-x-24/ Heat Screen: https://www.designengineering.com/heat-screen-36-x-20/ They both have high-temp self-adhesive backing, come in different sizes, but "Heat Screen" seems a bit thicker and made with higher quality materials. A little pricey of course when compared to anything one might find on Aliexpress and such but this is a task that you would not want to undertake too often and effectiveness and durability should be high priority me-think. And even though, brand name and price alone does not guarantee product quality, the lack of information - and incomprehensibility thereof sometimes - associated with products out of Aliexpress make me a tad leery of buying there. On the other hand, these DEI products have good descriptions and even SDS sheets. I shall take a trip to Autozone and see what I can get my hands on...
  19. Well, I have one already installed on my ‘04 V11 CS, it came to me that way. I don’t know if it’s an original Moto Moda or one of the Rusty Star Picket Project one but I will put my name down for one if only to get the next batch underway and just for the sake of availability. Besides, you never know when a another V11 might follow you home... Thanks Eric!
  20. Here are a couple of hits: https://www.oppracing.com/product_display/30979-brembo-oe-brake-pad-set-ferit-i-d-450ff-pad-kit-for-206800xx-209230xx-caliper-shape-m-107670810/ https://www.accu-products.com/107670810-ferit-i-d-450ff-pad-kit-for-20-6800-xx-caliper.html You would have to inquire for stock though, but almost half the price than AF1 or Cadre (GU01654630)
  21. I believe they are. Look for "Brembo 107670810"
