  1. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/rizoma-side-mount-mirror-adapter I chose a 2000 Ducati Monster 600 SKU: 1849964 https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/rizoma-dynamic-mirror-1?sku_id=1277814 SKU: 1277814 https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/highsider-bar-ends?sku_id=10292106 SKU: 10292106
  2. I don't think it was properly adjusted. Throttle seems fine now. It worked before I removed the idle lever thing when I put new grips on last year.
  3. I should have just said neck scarf but Balaclava sounds more manly
  4. my v11 came with a mechanical cc left of the throttle, i thought it interfered with the throttle rotation so i got rid of it.
  5. its been warm enough to go for a few rides with my transformed guzzi... 50s during the day here ... salt is pretty much washed off the roads, though road crews havent fixed the pot holes yet ... stock airbox makes the v11 sounds better, even great, it sounds better ... i don't notice a power difference at all - seems like a totally appropriate and good refit .... rizoma mirrors are awesome (thanks again @Lucky Phil) no wobble, nice coatings, and as you said i have totally forgotten how much they cost and only notice the quality ... maybe my next initiative will be to remap to gain better MPG if possible. Oil change is complete (purchased the oil filter wrech suggested by @gstallons) Bike is running great. just need some better cold weather pants and a baklava for these early spring days.
  6. banning concrete would do more than banning ICE to decrease greenhouse gas emissions. are any politicos talking about that?
  7. Thought I'd read up on oil change before I did mine this year. I have all the supplies, including sump gasket. Seems like some folks say its an annual thing regardless of mileage and others change oil every 5,000 miles and the filter every 10,000 Is this correct? I changed the oil and filter at 26.5k miles about a year and a half ago. Now at 28.2k. Has a consensus been reached here over the years on how often to change the oil and filter?
  8. Thanks everyone, I've got the bar end weights and new Rizoma mirrors installed. Really nice mirrors. Thanks Phil I got the adapters for a 2000 Ducati monster 600 - Revzilla didn't list MG V11 - which came with the correct bolt you recommended for the V11. The kit included 5 different bolts, so it seems pretty universal.
  9. i took off my mouse ears and ordered up some Rizomas, low end, $80 each plus 2 mounts.
  10. thanks - totally missed that - just reversed them.
  11. I may need a mounting bracket for the bar
  12. the rizoma website doesnt list V11s - will mirrors for other guzzi models be compatible?
  13. Does anyone have any recommendations on bar end weights for my 2000 v11? I am sort of restoring it to original, and have completed getting the stock air box re-installed. Sounds nicer. Its cold here and roads are salty so haven't gotten a proper ride in yet. Now want to rid myself of the bar end mirrors. Always bumping into the wood pile in garage. Thinking of the "standard" mirrors on MG Cycle and need some bard end weights Any recommendations appreciated.
