    the V11 does not need any add-on to be a looker

    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!

    While rather angular for my tastes, I bet it is luscious to see in person . . .

    It's a good thing we don't all have the same taste... life would be so dull... :grin:

    @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... :P

    Yeah, definitely a “fun” project for the rainy season. Having the injectors cleaned is the easy part, I reckon I would if they’ve been on the shelf for any length of time.

    That excellent Throttle Body Rebuild tutorial detailed by @Lucky Phil !

    I think that I’ve said it before, and no offense to all the great contributors to this forum, but I miss @Lucky Phil's vast knowledge and no-nonsense approach to all things technical.

    So, this is an alternative to the 2-cable set we were previously sourcing from Lonelec?

    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.

    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.

    This afternoon I did some modifying in the backend. It could be that you are being asked to enter some profile information. 
    Nothing private or special, don't worry. Sorry for the inconvenience!

    The only information I had to re-enter was my location. Since then I’ve noticed that member’s location is no longer showing under their avatar in any given posts. :huh2:

    Brembo brake pads

    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.

    Pretty sure I should have gone with these GG from MGCycle, instead of the SHH. My bad . . .

    And the ones @motoguzznix recommended.

    A good choice for organic brake pads are the TRW Lucas MCB 683 without any suffix.

    Neither one of those links works for me.

    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.

    Pirelly Sport Demon

    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!
