Upon closer inspection I'd say those forks are worth about lol I bet that hurt like hell when he hit whatever he hit.

It looks like the front forks are ok too. Those are pretty pricey

Omg my condolences Ben I've had my wisdom teeth done. Dont worry you'll be better...in a week. Did it feel like this guy was your dentist?

I dont know Al. UPS would gladly send his tank there wouldnt they? lol

Has any other manufacturer made a Magni type fairing? I'd like a Lemans fairing for my Rm but I'll bet the cost is very prohibitive. Plus you need to change the clip ons & some cable lines need to be longer?

I thought Lisbon was the 4th Sunday of the month? Did they change it recently? I havent been to that one yet, but I've been to the one in Rootstown twice. Anyway the weathers going to suck this Sunday lol

Sorry but I dont think you can get a new one anymore When you could I think they were about $1600. I may be wrong about this as you may want something other than what I'm thinking of

I seem to have gotten my fuel sync close to even & the bike runs well now, no coughs. My gauge reads 20cm left side about 22 or 23 right side. Is that close enough or should I play with it some more?

Is that your wife Ben? I wouldnt have time to ride...the bike that is

It also has the red valve covers

Just what weekend is that rally? I live in Canton Oh & may just drop in to say hi.

Alright I went out & got a vacuum gauge & got it a lot closer to right than it was. At least its ridable now...I'll just take it to a dealer with better equipment & know how. One side reads 8hg & the other side reads about 10 or 11. At least I'm back to the less occasional cough mostly near idle. Oh & btw I also found out today that my old truck blew a timing chain so I spent the rest of the day tearing that greasy old thing apart I'll be another 2 hours at that tomorrow

Ok Ok I'm doen with the white knob :!: It should be fixed later today

Ohh boy That little white knob is becoming a major pain in my ass :!: I tried to fix the slight cough the bike had & now its backfiring. The only thing I'm turning or have ever turned is that little white knob I guess I'll need to get a vacuum gauge & see what the deal is.

Theres a sweet set of Rizoma 851 mirrors on ebay right now if anyones interested. I want those same mirrors for my bike only not in black. I prefer the natural polished aluminum look.

Thanks guys I knew where the idle screws were because I still have the owners manual. But I couldnt find that white knob in the manual...so of course I had to give it a few turns to see what would happen I dont know if I've gotten it back perfectly but it runs good so I'll let it be for awhile & see. Btw my odometer hit 2000 miles today I was cleaning the bike today & had the pipes off so of course I started it up just to see. Now I need louder pipes, that thing sounds sweet unmuffled :!: Like I posted earlier if anyone has a set of non carbon mufflers let me know.

Thanx Nogbad Thats what I thought it was. I was playing with it earlier today & now my bike has a slight occasional cough in the lower rpms. I'll have to get out there & put it back to the way it was. (whatever that is )

What is the white plastic knob for on the carb linkage? Does it sync the carbs? I'm at a loss here

What is it about the Guzzi kickstands? Lol I dropped my Rosso Mandello about 2 weeks ago, thought I had put the kickstand down, got off & of course it went right over! fortunately I still had hold of it when I realized it was going down. I couldnt believe it but there was no damage, mostly because it hit the grass instead of pavement & not very hard because I was trying to stop it from falling. I havent had a bike in about 9 years so these things do happen I guess. My riding skills & the bike seem to get better every time I ride though.

Thats odd you'd think they would put the right kind of plastic in that little window. I'm probably getting them anyway lol. As for the valve covers & pork chops, I'm glad you mentioned yours were powder coated. I'll get that done too as mine are getting some chips in the paint. I'd like to get the exhaust coated too but I'll wait for winter

The sponsor rossopuro on this site, upper left corner has some cool radiator covers

I was just curious as to how those Rizoma reservoirs are holding up now that some time has passed? I really want a set for my Rosso Mandello along with a set of the 851 mirrors. I just got my 15 year bonus check from work & I feel a need for a little bling on my bike :!: Anyone else have Rizoma reservoirs or mirrors, I'd love to get your opinions

I am interested in buying a set of aftermarket cans for my Rosso Mandello. I'd much rather get a set of used ones if I could so if your selling your bike & would like to sell the cans seperately pm me

Yeah I agree, that hugger is cool. Nearly $500 is just too much though I may go $280 but thats about it for a fender. Hmm theres a metal shop where I work...maybe if I buy an english wheel, learn how to use it..lol nah too much trouble

I'm with you :!: my Rosso Mandello is just starting to hit its stride at 1700 miles & no problems yet...zero....wellll there was a blown fuse incident lol but you get the idea
