sorry about the image links, this site limits us. I don't host images on another site, so I have to Photoshop them to 200k.

from my notes: MPH Cycles Starter Interruptus mod Parts at http://www.cycleterminal.com/ (except the 14 AWG blue, green and white wires). The MPH Cycles part comes with a 10amp fuse in the fuse link. The heat shrink tubing and the black protective tubing could be replaced by ordinary electrical tape. You need a crimping tool for the brass terminals, but a garden variety tool from the hardware store will do fine. The connectors from Cycle Terminal come with male and female spade terminals. The "eye" terminal on the fuse link has to be purchased separately.

Newly acquired vehicles always have me and a can of slippery-squirt spray all hinges, keyholes, buttons, etc. Give it a try.

Another calming, impressive MG channel was, 46 Works, https://www.youtube.com/@shiroh73/featured This guy is talented with his build skills, but also his video editing, I found them to be very calming. Enjoy!

I hurt my back yesterday, building a tire change jig. As I laid on the couch all day I watched lot's of good stuff. One of my favorite movies, Sing Street (Netflix), and endless Youtube videos. This particular one was so calming, I really enjoyed traveling along with him as he rode his '67 so so very far across Canada. Enjoy!

@JoeWow, your bike is beautiful, THAT color! The exhaust looks fantastic, makes our stockers looks so HEAVY, in comparison. Congrats! I ran the Mistrals on my V7 for years with DBkillers. Eventually, curiosity got to me and I removed them. They haven't been reinstalled now for over a decade! @MartyNZ great looking Wilbers MonoShock! I have Wilbers on my V7, so fantastically accurate, and infinitely adjustable. I'm too cheap to upgrade my V11 with one, but you got me thinking!

@80CX100 I really appreciate your perspective. I will make my order later this week, waiting for a few vendors to respond to my request. I did already order the upgraded MGC OEM cable. I believe they are out of stock, but they still took my order money so maybe it's just a matter of them having a request before they fill it. I hope to hear back from them this week.

after far too much research, this vendor seems to have the best choices of cables, and pricing too. https://www.officine08.com/web/elenco_prodotti.php?idfiltro1=4&idfiltro2=4037&idfiltro3=5169&pag=3

@gstallons yes, only the inner needs replacement.

does this fit our bikes, expecting no difference from their listed years to my 2003? https://www.officine08.com/p14778_speedometer-cable-moto-guzzi-v-11-01.html In my research, I've created such a confusion for myself. For $80, TLM seems to have a modded cable that eliminates both drives and the plastic gear at the speedo. they do have stock afterall. The link above show a new cable really cheap. The thing is, I've been hesitant to purchase since none of these seem to ensure fitment. I did also put a deposit on the modded MGC cable, however this seems to be nothing more than a slightly bent versions of OEM. I haven't heard from them since my deposit though.

my exhaust of choice. I'm actually running one on my dual sport, KLX250. https://shop.gprexhaustsystems.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAtbqdBhDvARIsAGYnXBNAy8tO73BXZ2isZlvmn4bDHF1U2KNPh4SLfnsnG63p0us_UqdhB3YaAg9CEALw_wcB

…it seems no one has any cables, MGC or TLM.

LED instrument lights, $20 Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HK9HFJH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I installed these on my 2003, work fantastic, fit so nice too. They are brighter than OEM, but not overly bright.

@cash1000 this company is closed for the Christmas holiday, but once they are back in office, confirm USA delivery, I'm going to go for this option. Appreciate your confirming. I did also order and pay for a stock style from MGCycle, but as noted, they have none at present.

I received two styles of pegs, ended up installing the non-lowered rubber padded style. Bolted on, no mods needed. These are the identical ones I've been running on my V7 for years. As for the lowered style, these are impressive quality, so well precision machined. As stated earlier in the thread, they need to be shaved just a tad to fit into our mounts. I chose not to use them as they didn't lower teh peg enough to make much of a difference. My guess is about an inch at most. To do any good, it would seem I'd need twice that amount, but then I'm shortening my cornering clearance. So instead, I'm going to use them for my pillion pegs. They will be perfect for lowering and moving forward these pegs, much more comfortable for the wife!

https://tlm.nl/moto-guzzi-triumph/04768300-tlm-modificatie-kmt-v11-sport-haakse-overbre just discovered this cable and gear mod.

aha!!! I hadn't realized until I just removed it a second time, the very tip of the cable broke off inside the speedo. Good news, I only need a new cable. Bad news, I need to figure out out how to remove the broken tip. I just ordered an upgraded cable from MGCycle, however they are back ordered. Anywhere else I might find one sooner?

I read many with the Buell peg mod, changed it back, as it wasn't comfortable. The ones I just ordered are so adjustable, I'm sure I can get them just right.

They may not match up exactly perfect. I ordered one and will report back. I may have to shave a millimeter off, I have no problem with that.

After reading so so many foot peg threads, I think I'll order these. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801259800527.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000060.3.390c5ebbO26fXi&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreThisSeller&scm=1007.13339.291025.0&scm_id=1007.13339.291025.0&scm-url=1007.13339.291025.0&pvid=4357c347-fe42-409c-a4bd-f2bb7a0342c5&_t=gps-id%3ApcDetailBottomMoreThisSeller%2Cscm-url%3A1007.13339.291025.0%2Cpvid%3A4357c347-fe42-409c-a4bd-f2bb7a0342c5%2Ctpp_buckets%3A668%232846%238113%231998&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id"%3A"12000016140396055"%2C"sceneId"%3A"3339"}&pdp_npi=2%40dis!USD!55.21!38.65!!!!!%402101d1ae16716484229634005e72a4!12000016140396055!rec&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa&_randl_shipto=US Any feedback prior to my ordering?

These are awesome, albeit expensive. The look to be plug and play, even for our bikes. Even so, they are not available any longer. Any similar alternative? https://www.suburban-machinery.com/K1200LT.html

@GuzziMoto I searched everywhere to find the ratio, but failed. I'm hoping ours is the same by default. Configured for 1:1 Drive Ratio (1,000 cable RPM at 60 MPH) 5/8 x 18 male thread attachment point for 0.104" square drive speedometer cables. Additional adapters sold separately.
