what about the malossi red sponge filters does anyone know anything about those?
-
How much did that set you back? with shipping and all.
-
I had another question how much do those Supertwins cost?. I really like the blue one how much better do they perform for you? is it entirely hand made or are there possible other units planned for the future? I tried looking at the website you have linked but I don't speak itialyanese
-
If you get the MG ti racing kit would you still need to look at getting a PCIII? I don't know if this has been covered somewhere or not so if it has my forgiviness please.

God I just took out my airbox yesterday for K&N pods it sounds nice and looks awesome but they sure didn't make it easy to get that tank off. Or back on for that matter. Then some Fuel meter was in the way and I had to hack apart the original tubes for an extender It went from going "Man this look easy" to "what the hell did I get myself into" but at least I saved about $400 the dealership told me it would cost. I asked if that came with vasoline. But good luck with your airbox. -its fun

I picked up some Pirelli Scorpion Sync's for my guzzi the original Dragons on there got 8500mi but I really should have changed them out 1000mi ago. I really like the look of these scorpions they look like off-road tires specificaly made for naked bikes. Or so they say. I'll give an update on how they ride & wear once I Get them on. I'm sorry I can't ride through the winter in Minnesota I don't care who you are. it can't be done. OHH you might take it out a day here or a day there but psh
Take a look they're neat. and not the price listed got them both for $200

Does your horn guages and turn signals work properly? you might want to try and swap out your relays under your seat (the square grey thingys) with better ones (bosch maybe) or just take them out and shuffle them. It might help or you have something more serious wrong. and this someone else will know more. but good luck

thanks for the help I'm in the process of possibly aquiring a set of MG Ti's with everything included just waiting on some pics and maybe the exchange rate to be more favorable, like that'll happen
But it has a minor bit of damage if its very minor I'm on it. thanks for the help

HEY AL, I can't believe it. I went to the link of your page and you are one of the reasons I now Own a Motoguzzi V11
I did a lot of research into what the bike was like and its faults b4 I purchased. I went for the naked I like the street fighter looks. But I say cheers on your website and it was very helpful in my decision over a triumph. 
Also after delving deeping into the forum forgive my "beating the dead horse" past discretions. Web master possibly an admin should make an icon that looks like a dead horse. very helpful indeed -
Is it possible to get some UV protecting film to place on the speedo, maybe a window tint would work well. I bet that would slow the fading process. My dials aren't comepletely gone yet. So anyone have any ideas let me know. -Ben
-
my clutch makes a slight rattle when I pull the clutch in as well. the mechanic that test rode my bike for other reasons didn't say anything to me about it. Though it is quite loud like a slight grinding, scraping, sliding noise, like shush shush shush shush - rythmic. I have not had any grabbing or shifting or slipage problems.
-
I really like the Buell Carbon Fiber screen It sits real close to the bike and looks like it was made for it. I got one for $130 with the mounting hardware and unless you are into buells and no one is. then its not that noticeable I'll try to add a pic sometime if anyone cares.
-
HEY if anyone knows of a crashed/totaled V11 with the carbon or the aluminum gas tank surround just let me know I'll buy it of ya, for a price you determine. Its starting to look like unless I have one fabricated or steal one I may not be able to come across one. So everyone with the new guzzis watch out if I'm walking by.
-
Well I like the white faced dails much better BUT I wish the markers didn't fade so bad. Really if I could get in there with some good enamel and make'em bright as ever I'd be happy but I know thats not as easy as it sounds. So I was just entertaining the notion of getting the newer black dials as a possibility. good to know thats not a good idea.
-
IS it altogether possible to get the newer black faced dials and install them in my '00 V11 Sport. Those damn gauge markers are fading away on me. OR does anyone know of a possible even better replacement/enhancement. Maybe someway to crack open the dials and paint the markers. Although I am feeling they only open one way - broken
,maybe not in that order -
I started a thread and I guess I should have just read further into some topics because I couldn't find anything at first. Like I've heard the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. But you don't look too intelligent when most of your answers were right in front of you. Those neptunes look nice enough but not the look I was going for exactly. going for the FBF ovals anyone have some good experience with those?
-
I'd love to be able to get the Titanium ovals. the MG ones. Well I inquired into 2 different dealerships I've heard they want 1,200 for them and they also have no idea when more will be produced. If I see a set on ebay someday I'll snatch them up. I know everyone is different I was looking for personal experience and possibly even compared to other motorcycles for the reason already stated I've only seen 4 guzzi's on the road 2 V11's and 2 old californias I think(dunno). So it makes it hard to know what they all sound like. its starting to look like I just need to guess. I'm probably going to go with the FBF Ti or carbon(undecided) ovals and crossover if the MG ti's are no more. but this has been helpful I was going to get carbon rounds, I didn't know the ovals give a deeper sound And thats exactly what I want.
Does anyone have good experience with the FBF set-up? as in quality construction, deep note, ease of installation?
-
I Guess that is the most sound advice, I know it has been flogged to death but not one really describes the sound, they say "it sounds nice" or "its throaty" "or its too loud" or they just said where you can pick them up and they sound nice. because come on. how loud is too loud but if there was a comparison to be made is what I Was looking for. AS in loudest maybe throatyest to sounds like stock. I have heard a file with someone who had the quad-d setup and they sound rather close to stock. But those are the only ones I've actually heard. And a guy told me FBF was too loud. so my question is complicated on the net I'm sure you can't make threads like well my exhaust sounds like rump rump rummmmpppaaa rummmmpppaaa, But maybe someone has heard most of them and would know whats best.
-
Could anyone tell me the "Best Sounding" Guzzi exhaust? as in nice and throaty like a harley almost tho I know it will never sound like a harely. But when you can hear the induction and the clutch over the pipes something ain't right,
So in your professional opionons which would be the Best Slip-ons
FBF, Mistral, Quad d, Leo Vinchi, gallaseti-they are sweet looking. but no speakem the english, any others I know I missed.
The best Crossover- Stucci, FBF, are there others? I'm leaning towards FBF for price I can wait for them to come.
Also if someone wants to get technical and say which is the best peroformance boost thats fine too. I'm a rook and my eyes hurt from reading blogs all day. maybe this way will be easier.

Thanks for the help on those blogs I was looking for them but couldn't seem to find the ones regarding the original ECU only the ones all about the PCIII. Maybe I wasn't looking in the right places. Oh and I got my bike out yesterday had to charge the battery for an hour but Feb 4th, In Minnesota hit 50. All I can say is poor poor snowmobilers.
Ah Man, Reading all those threads gave me brain freeze. Talk about a whirlwind of confusing theroys and hearsay. Anywho let me know how you like your New FBF setup I can't decide between the mistrals or the FBF slip-ons. MG titaniums would have been my first choice but who knows when they will be made again.
-
I'm SORRY was there a bike somewhere in those pictures? I swear I didn't see any. AND I have the Bike magazine someone spoke of and I'd much rather have the Ducati 1000 DS or the Aprilia Futura for a sport tourer Than a 999, With that logic and price tag you might as well get the Benelli or the MV agusta I mean at least then youre being different right?

I've had no problems I also purchased a bike with 3K on it and it bothered me at first but they told me it was normal the reviews I read never mentioned it. JUST be sure you don't have lifter noise check your oil. I was also told they can tend to eat oil from time to time I hope they weren't "blowing smoke" though it was the dealer and if they can take a bike apart and screw you on labor they'll do it. But when I got my oil changed I was a quart low and I had less noise after that. I still feel I'm new with this My first Guzzi but certianly not my last as long as they don't fold.

I have a 2000 Guzzi V11 sport I've done nothing but add a buell carbon windscreen I wanted something smaller and 1/3rd the price of the guzzi's or guzzi aftermarket. Anyway many mods to come in the future Mistrals carbons, stucci, FBF elminator plus I have the K&N filters but I'm going to install them all at once. My question is this. Does anyone know where I could pick up the carbon fiber or even the aluminum peice that goes around the gas cap on the tank? it currently has the crappy (I'm sure soon to crack) vinly on it and I'd really love to replace it with the carbon fiber one as a theme. The dealer told me its about $450 but he suspects it will not be in stock for they appear to be out of everything and advised me to search overseas. So if anyone knows anything or anywhere to look please drop me a line. Thanks

IS it just me or could you not mount them directly to the throttle body unless they are angled? because things were in the way on both sides of the tank. With my 00' Sport the K&N pod didn't fit I had to cut the intake tube and mount them to that for clearance. I'm not very mechanicaly inclined but one side looks like some kind of fuel sensor and the other is like a drain/bleeder? for all I know.
