    Well, as far as bums on a bike go, this is a Honda, not a Guzzi, but do you all remember the movie, “Vanishing Point”?

    It may not be “Citizen Kane”, but that movie, along with “Easy Rider”, and “Electra Glide in Blue”, had as much to do with anything to put me in the saddle. As a very wee lad, me and my pals would jump the chain link fence at the local drive-in and appropriate a speaker where we would sit at the very back of the lot watching these motoplotation movies. It wasn’t long after seeing “Easy Rider” and wearing out the soundtrack LP, that I was able to get my hands on a Briggs and Stratton powered mini bike.....and here I am, still looking at bums on a bike.

  2. awesome find.  I have a set on my 2002 Scura with the ECU.  I think I paid 1000USD for them back in 2006. Mine are now dented and look like crap.  If anyone has the cans for sale, just let me know.  I am sure we can both walk away happy.

  3. my gen light is also acting up.  sometimes it stays on, sometime off, sometimes just barely lit....most times I can turn the key/switch on off and the gen light goes off.  Ride a few more days and it starts all over again.  Can Roy expand on where he was going with that response?

     

    Cheers,

  4. Gunther, thanks for that link.  Looks like they have the part in stock so I will try to order.  All the best.

     

    Craig, the speedo is erratic and sometimes doesn't work at all.  The gears are probably not setting any longer on the mechanism No. 5 in the drawing.

     

    Thanks guys.

     

    Cheers.

  5. reading through the forum, I was reminded about MPH Cycles in Houston and how they helped me on a cross the USA trip many years ago.  I asked them for a speedometer transmission (part no. 01 76 25 60) for my 2002 Scura, see no.5 in attachment.  MPH said after checking with MG, the part is discontinued (ie, not available) and said I would have to ebay for it.

     

    Can a guy rebuild it?  I understand the part is only used in V11 Sport models.

     

    Any advice would be helpful. 

     

    Cheers,
