In my pursuit to repair my speedo, I acquired more than a few parts I ultimately didn't need. https://www.mgcycle.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=135&products_id=141 60 degree speedometer drive gear used at the transmission end of the cable on: 1999 to 2002 V11 Sport, V11 LeMans, V11 Naked, Scura, and Tenni. $40 plus shipping

Yesterday and today, rode nearly 100 miles, everything works perfecto!

I believe in God, and I also believe He has a sense of humor. Thus, He's laughing at me. After my repair, and around-the-block test, I posted my poor results. This morning, after much research, I found a NOS speedo and bought it for roughly $300 shipped. Then I hopped on the bike and did a 9 mile round-trip to Home Depot. The speedo worked perfect. Dear God, I'm humbled that I made you smile.

Going to the black face Veglia corrects the white face defect, helping negate future problems. The thread may be the same, but the angle is not correct, but I could cut the black back housing to clear it. It's covered up by the fairing so no one would see. The price is right too! Hoping someone could share any info on this swap.

anyone know if this is a direct fit, cable wise? https://www.ebay.com/itm/125898800443?epid=19057696746&hash=item1d50273d3b:g:ZogAAOSwyARkN6cA&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4IqsTjK603A1ebQnMHJX6uROCWE3sUIQW21i%2BLkzDNaR5bjrJKHDGgalMsZ%2FU0ZNLhC7X7PnsnszbW7O2%2Bcbi%2BAOvQeODlhUViWDi%2By0HDvth%2B8c%2Bb5H70PmlPohnF1Skm0bK6j%2BZo5y38HbY4aB%2BCfX1uEr%2BSq4kDHVz4xqwSpMHByJP%2BHV2AcOgjrTcG9PoZNLbX83c4WA9Hd%2B040gtEyhSrrBC8NZtHzPhomAgKxCWfgcnFob2DN46bWD3G9NxU41JIGAuDvRcyzNmwNSdNEzNQgqfvWq%2FjM7DCooLqQV|tkp%3ABk9SR5Ce1Yr5YQ

If you've read my post, I'm still chasing this speedo problem. I thought for sure it was just a gear or cable problem, and now I believe it was both that and the speedo itself, worm gear I suspect is worn. At last resort, I'll spend $400 with Joel Levine to repair mine. Prior to doing so, does anyone have a Ducati metal worm gear they'll part with, or even a spare working speedo?

I recently discovered Voom advertised on Fortnine (Youtube). Not available in all states, and of course not mine! I have seven bikes, $140 annual registration fee each, plus insurance (Progressive) I need to move!

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After two months of ordering, shipping, ordering, again and again, etc, etc wrong part ordered, wrong part shipped, confusion on the "2003 sport" (2002 or 2004 fitment?) Tank off, tank on, again and again. I finally got all new and correct items. All are now installed: new transmission 60° gear, new speedometer 60° gear, new OEM cable. I start it up, and away I go. The needle is bouncing, but then smooths out and registers correct, then it doesn't! I'm so frustrated. I guess the speedo is also in need of replacement. For bike that didn't run for over a decade, it was easier to get it started, running, and dialed in than it is to deal with this stupid speedo set-up.

Bueller?

I buy a lot of used gear, as well as off-brands. With a bit of research, you'll find many name brands are mere marketing success stories, and not always a better quality.

These last few years, I've grown to really admire the grit of Brad Binder #33. After his terrific Sprint, I was rather deflated with his race, not all his fault, but chips lay where they fall.

yeah, my blinker relay is generally just tossed under there as well. The OEM rubber sleeve is old and dry so I discarded it. Just tuck it away and forget about it, no harm. #zipties

Good overall report, pics too! I'd say the bike looks like it was owned by a decent owner, few little mods here and there. You're in good shape. Give it a good wash and ride on! I like the way the Ram mount is located, I may do the same.

I only watch Motos and MMA, no stick and ball sports (any longer). This past weekend was SX, MotoGP, and UFC; I had a busy TV schedule!

@LowRyter yes, yes, yes! His 2015 behavior was a disgrace, he was dead to me afterward. Dorna allowed him to get away with it, sheesh. Yesterday they gave him a two lap penalty, not nearly enough as he essentially finished two championship seasons. It's far too difficult to claw back that many points, now more than ever. I heard this morning, he now needs arm surgery, and is out.

Yup, got the one of these in the stable as well. In fact, it's my second (sold the first). This one however is the actual Cycle World feature bike! http://www.champsclock.com/gb500hu.htm

No good. If it were only the bend at the gear box, I may have been able to come up with something. Both ends on the new cable were correct, but the side (speedo side) with the flat slit, was a bit too narrow. Even this I could have made work, but after a number of other items too, not worth overcoming. At least I ruled something out for us.

After some research, I thought I order this and give it a try. Free return if it doesn't work out. I can use this style cable and possibly not need the angle gear(s). I'll report back after it arrives. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FY63KPK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Any brand lubricant of your choice.

Sad, but true. If I had to guess, $5k for a clean example.

Am I understanding this correct? I ship them my forks for measuring and such, thus helping them make a template for shop. In return I receive a free set of upgraded fork internals? If so, I'm game!

This is very useful to know (anodized red). If one is trying to match Legnano Green, here is data I collected for it (from others research), as I have a 2010 V7 in this color. Greenie Paint Code Using all of my super Spidey senses, including deductive skills worthy of Sherlock Holmes' smarter older brother, I present to the Moto Guzzi community the paint code for the weird greenish gold color found on the V7 Café known alternately as "Legnano Green" or "Solaris Yellow": (drum roll please) Nissan paint code ER4. Long story short, I had a warranty repair done to my gas tank due to the bike being delivered with the right side horn rotated up so high that, thanks to normal engine vibrations, some paint got rubbed off. Thinking ahead, I asked the dealer to provide a bottle of touch-up paint and the paint code for future reference. The paint code from Moto Guzzi was unobtainium, so the dealer, Steel Horse Classics, used a professional auto body shop who matched the paint perfectly. When it was all done I got a small bottle of paint with ER4 written on it. My first search for ER4 turned up somthing like 1996 Nissan Gold. Since I don't know anything at all about automotive paint codes, my first reaction was "what? - nah! - must be some mistake". I have since learned that ER4 was likely never used on any US market Nissan car and is listed at various web sites only under the years 1996, 95-97, and 98-99 (for the Nissan Micra). The color description on these sites is listed as any one of the following: Gold, Gold Pearl, Yellow, Yellow Olive, Yellow Olive Effect, and finally my favorite, Sumatra Yellow Metallic. Solaris Yellow or Legnano Green is never mentioned anywhere. I found a US based outfit (automotivetouchup.com) that would supply a touch up bottle of ER4 and I did a comparision with the bottle I received from the dealer. I have concluded that they are one and the same color. The bottle I received from automotivetouchup.com was way to thinned out for proper use as a touch-up paint, so I had to apply multiple coats to get proper color density. I think that due to all the color elements in this paint, use for touch-ups will probably always be less than satisfactory unless it is professionally sprayed on. Anyway, just my small contribution to the Guzzi pool of knowledge and the three or four people out there who may find this information useful!

al_roethlisberger I mixed and matched OEM and Ali parts to fit these. I didn't have to modify anything though.
