On a completely different topic than my starting and handling woes. When I first rode the Breva 1100 fitted with the touring windshield I found the battering from the air flow completely unsatisfactory. I acted upon a recommendation from the local dealer over here on the west coast of Canada and purchased a 'laminar lip' which I had shipped up from California,then brought it over to the UK, installed it, problem solved. My wife on the pillion even reported a drastic improvement and greatly increased comfort on the rear perch. For the pilot, 70mph visor up, no problem!
Highly recommended: http://www.laminarlip.com/
I put a Givi A-760 on my Breva 1100 using the stock Breva shield hardware had to cold bend those rods a bit to make it fit but works for me.

Hi!
Does anybody knows where to buy an second hand 15M ECU?
Thanks
Try Ebay, I believe they were used for some fiats.

There was a good sized bunch of Guzzi riders down for the event. I will be back next year for sure, probably camp at the state park next year.

A beautiful trip report of the lake district where our wonderful Italian machines are made.
Many thanks to the author.

Myers does service work on Guzzis. They just don't sell them anymore, the chief mechanic is a Guzzi owner.

How about a MGS01 kit for the new 8V engine?
-
Now if they could just find a way to do a hitch for the Norge, Breva 1100 and the Stelivo it would be great.

I guess you haven't seen the latest from RacerX.
Supercharged Griso!
I just saw this on RacerX's SoCal Forum.

So what will RacerX try next? A rocket powered GUZZI?
If this works he will surely be King of the mountain!

Lets get a ride organized in the Seattle area.
Who is here that's from the Seattle area?
We could go for a ride up to Mt. Saint Helens, or Mt. Rainer.
Saggio
You need to talk to Greg Field he's always setting up a ride.

Mmmmmm. I dunno.....ol' Dan charged me a whole $8.70 for three of 'em..
Sent those to my old address and shot another 3 out to this address.
He's gotta be rollin' in dough.
I'm locking these 3 in the safe. Frickin' homing relays.......
I keep a full set of the GEIs in my topcase when traveling.

I know this info is probably on the forum somewhere but I havent been able to find it. So I hope you don't mind me asking. I've seen some pics on here of oil filters with a hose clamp around them. Do I really need to do this? Why? Is there a specific spot the clamp should be placed. I have poured over as many of the old post's about oil filters (there's a ton) as my very short attention span will allow. I need to do my first oil change on my LeMans. I bought the walmart filter and I'm hoping to be able to do the change without removing the pan. I know I should be able to reuse the pan gasket, but I don't want to remove the pan withiut at least having a gasket on hand just in case.
As much money as you have in your bike you decide to go the cheap roite and use a Wal Mart filter??
I can't understand the logic in that?
-
Maybe with the MGS01 body on it? It's sure ugly now!
-
Two questions for Orson.
1. Re "bone stock," thought Tennis came with a brown seat of brushed suede or the like?
2. Where are those pics taken?
Nice Guzzi, btw.
Bill
Bill, I believe you get two seats with a Tenni.

I understand that the V11s need a splash plate to prevent oil starvation on hard acceleration. Pete Roper has some made up and will be shipping them soon soon. He's in England now looking after his mum.

I ride out on country roads a bunch, since the price of gas has gone through the roof nobody is buying the good stuff. Gas is sitting the tanks getting condesation/water in it. I started using regular in my EV, it runs fine. I used to use nothing but Hi-Test in it.
-
Take her for a ride on a Breva 1100, it will do everything the Lemans will do and it's a good two up bike.
-
I put the "grand touring" grips on my EV, if you have large hands they are great.
-
As an ardent admirer of these on Chris' mild custom Guzzi, the best analogy I can think of is that these are the Guzzi equivalent of a spectacular set of implants.
Don't laugh I'm going to put a set on my white EV.

... clean gasket residue off of your valve covers.
Home this afternoon after squiring 86-YO mom around doctors, etc. I need the rest!
Anyway, so catching up on some Guzziadministrivia, such as this post.
So ... there I was, all pleased I'd learned how to adjust valves, after dutifully listening to Wayne Orwig explain the process, show me how, then mess up the settings to see if I could do it. I could ... I think.
Well, Wayne left too soon, as had he been there, I'd likely not foxtrot uniformed my valve cover.
Decided Goof Off http://www.valspar.com/val/resident/goof-off.jsp would do the trick.
Oh, yes, and then some.
I am, obviously, sad-faced.
[it will not help to tell me about reading directions 
]So, any suggestions? Presume these aren't on ebay every day.
I would think that you could have them powder coated Bill. There should be someone in the Atlanta area that does this.

I like both the Scura and the Tonti framed Cali for different reasons.
The Scura is surer footed and well planted, if a little tall in the saddle.
The Cali is softer lower and more forgiving. I like the lower seat height.
As both bikes are new (ish) they are both taut, which is good.
Actually, the Cali is a total hoot to ride now I have upgraded with a second front disc.
It is great to ride it as it shouldn't be ridden!
Nige.
Get a slightly used EV and have the best of both.

How about a write up and instructions for someone/dumb/me/old fart who might try a V11 a little later.
I believe I'd put some black Napoleon mirrors on it.
Thanks,

I live in Roanoke and am closer to Winchester than Myers but I go to Myers OK.
Probably the best dealership in this area. You won't regret it.

How about putting the Aprilia Mana bars on that thing?
