yeah, I think that the protectors would have to stick out pretty far to provide any affect. It would be better just to get some heavy duty head gaurds. Adding the crash protectors to th front forks would remind me of the trick bmx bikes.....that could equal some pretty cool tricks though

I put the Aprilia RXV turn signals for my le mans. They look real nice and are super bright. Got mine from Greg Fields/moto international.

couple questions?
What's a cush drive(I'll probably google it, just thought I'd throw it in)?
Got a link to the PVM wheels and can you get them painted from the maker when ordered?
How much are we talking about for those wheels?

I'm not sure I understand the safety angle. Is there a hazard in the Northeast that motorcyclists need to be aware of? Are we talking about theft, assault, or critters?
Confused.... :
No there is no real safety concern, just a better safe than sorry attitude. I'll be camping anyway, so it would be nice to join some like minded people anyway.

I was thinking that I would feel a lot more vibration with these bars, but that is not the case really. There's a very slight increase in vibs, but I was planning on switching to those ProGrip gels anyway. They more than make up the difference, certainly compares to the thin stock grips.
>>wiring
The only thing I had to change was the wire bundle for the starter switch cluster, which I routed behind the fork tube. It was too short to leave it in front where it formerly ran along with the throttle cables.
Other than re-clocking the banjo bolts on the clutch and brake master cylinders, that's all I changed.
There's a little logo on the Tomaselli's that looks like a big M with a very small T above it. The same logo is on the stock clipons that I took off.
Is it possible that Tomaselli makes the factoery ones?

What is reclocking the banjo bolts?

I actually have a pair of these sitting on my workbench, bought them last year from i believe RossoPuro. I've been debating putting them on becuase they are aluminum and was told you should not put bar-end wieghts on them. How are the handlebar vibes? And how did you do the wiring? When I test fit them, some of my wires were too short.

The Stelvio is about 2 years away from release so don't get too excited I am afraid!
According to reports, the Stelvio will be officially revealed at the dealer meeting in Nov. 07 and be released as an '08. So we may see it in the U.S. next spring/summer. If I have to wait until '09 then that's fine, I plan on being in Colorado in '08 so I'll buy the Husky TE 610 then the Stelvio in '09. No worries either way.
-
So... is anyone in the states considering these??? The price is making me explore other alternatives, but I'm still on the fence. We may get break if several sets are ordered at once. I'm writing rossopuro to inquire about the weight of these beauties.
My wife would KILL me if I bought those wheels, especially since I told her I was buying the Stelvio when it comes to the U.S. Would love to buy those wheels but could not justify the price.

Don't buy the Ballabio!!! Don't do it or you'll be sorry! I was on an '01 SV650S before going to the LM. Not only is my '03 every bit as reliable as the SV, its about a billion times more fun to ride
My wife hates the bike 
and I have to find excuses to go ride because its so fun. Sometimes when I can't ride, I sit on it and make Guzzi-esque sounds and act like I'm leaning into a corner 
Seriously, if you get the bike, it will be the best bike you ever bought. Mine has been problem free and only has required the oil changes, standard maintenance

HOLY SHNIKES!!! They actually built the Stelvio, now I know what I'm saving my money for!!!
I think it looks exactly like the so called photo chops from Rockets and Raptors. Can't wait to park it next to the LM . Wonder if it will come to the US in '08 or '09? I see its got GPS, and the though its probably geared more towards the Multistrada, Tiger niche, the bell pan might be worth of some light trail/fire roads. Good job to MG for bringing about some new bikes -
It is a beautiful watch, but like Callison said, "kind of low on the utility side." I have a Citizen Eco Drive Calibre 8700 and a Tissot Touch Titanium. Both of them pretty pricey at $450 and $650, but even the Eco drive has an alarm, keeps track of leap year, day of the week, and has crystal glass. So I have no problem paying for a good watch if its functional. I would rather pay extra money for the MG watch if they added more functionality. I looked at the Junkers website and they do have some nice watches, but I know not everyone can afford or would want to pay for a $500 watch. Hope you guys get a good turn out so that maybe this will lead to MG runs of other products.

Anyone here not have a dealer within 60miles? I'll be moving to Colorado Springs in the near future and am curious as to how I'm going to handle problems since the nearest Guzzi dealer is in Denver which is 70 miles. I can probably manage my own oil and filter changes, but beyond that I may get into trouble. How do others handle this type of situation? I really don't want to give up the Guzzi but not having a dealer nearby does make me nervous.

Personally I would go for Ohio State Crimson and Silver, but you may like Tar Heel "smurf" blue

Indeed, where did those wheels come from? They make the bike look really nice, now the MG definitely wins with those wheels
And how much for the change over? -
Anyone know of a website that lists all motorcycle rallies by state, month, other? I'm heading to the adirondacks this summer for a short 4/5 day tour
and I've heard that its safer, for the bike at least, to join rally participants at campsites. And since I am very flexible on dates and plan on camping anyway, I figure I might as well try and meet some other mc riders 
, even if they don't have enough taste/class to ride an MG I've tried googling a couple keyword/phrases but didn't return anything along the lines I was really looking for. Thanks. -
And these wheels would look good on the V11 . . . I wonder when rossopuro is going to come through for us?
True, it is a highly anticipated day. I'm curious as the the price of the wheels though. If they can keep it reasonable, it will make the v11 series one of the sexiest bikes out there. And if MG could offer these or similar wire wheels with the griso

Duc's are good and all but like the brother said, "if I wanted a Duc, I'd have one." In fact I almost bought the Multistrada and was looking at one until recently. The Guzzi just gets the whole thing done better
Although at second glance, those wire wheels on the Duc would be a killer on the Guzzi, then there would definitely be no comparison. -
Cat, if you had it, you'd likely be pretty familiar with it. It's the loose pipe with the leaky joints that runs between the headers and bangs and clatters against the alternator cover just below the round part of the cover with the Guzzi eagle. <_>
Loose pipe with leaky joints on a Guzzi
I must have really lucked out, mine is rock solid which is a surprise especially for having lived in Maryland. Would love to get straight pipes made somewhere down the road. -
I believe most of the stealerships were selling them for about $11,500 but you could probably get away with saying 11k.

for curiosity sake, why would you take off the Le Mans fairing? The naked looks good, just wondering why you would want to change after buying the LM?

Make sure when testing for starter you test with kickstand up, neutral light on, and clutch in.
dlaing, if we ever meet, I owe you a beer
My dumb A$$ had it in first gear . Started right up when I put it in nuetral. Oh the stupid things I overlook sometimes -
The fuel pump does not turn on when I turn the ignition on. The bike is completely dead except for being able to operate the lights. Any thoughts, first places to check/start?
Ok futbol fans. Soccer for you backwards Americans:)

Who's going to win the champions league? Yesterdays Man. U game was amazing, I thought it would go to Italy even. And now Chelsea has a win, looks like they'll be going unless Liverpool pulls off some big scoring. Chelsea vs Man. U will be crazy since they are already playing for the league championship.
