Ok guys got a lead on some ok Jackal wheels. Frankly I just want spoke wheels on my sport. Yeah performance won't be as good but I'm rocking the retro vibe.
So without staging the internet for specs anyone know for sure if these are a bolt up? If not anyone got an idea of how off they are?
What model year? If it's a 5.5 stock rear wheel model, you will not be able to easily fit Cal 1100 wheels, as the hub spacing and related with the rear brake rotor would be problematic, much less the hub spline connection would make it difficult to impossible - not saying it can't be done, but certainly not easy unless you are a machinist or have easy access to one, and even then would be very difficult per the above link.
I'm a Kineo dealer and can get you the Kineo spoked wheels that are plug and play, but they are quite expensive (shown below on a customized Scura). If you are interested in a set, ping me via my website; GTMotoCycles.com - I can also custom lace wheels and source the parts. I've done many sets on a myriad of bikes.
I have extensive experience in doing this, as I've owned about a dozen V11S models, and I was successful in the other direction with fitting V11S wheels to my Jackal; https://www.guzzitech.com/forums/resources/todds-jackal-evolution.235/

Stano, I have a few new and used options, write me direct email; Info @ GuzziTech.com

so it's a remapping of the stock ecu? tell us more
Todd @ Guzzitech does offer reflashing as well as the PC too.
I have a reflashed Guzzitech ECU. Best bang for the buck.
I also have a V11 with a PCIII. The Guzzitech reflash is lightyears better. In fact I'm waiting for Todd to free up some time so I can get the other reflashed. If you want a PCIII cheap in a few months let me know.
Thanks guys
Right alongside of tires, this is a decade and a half old argument between the proclaimed "knowledgable" here and elsewhere you'll read online. "Flashing" of the ECU is an overwrite of the flash memory on the ECU itself. Yours is a Marelli 1.5M.
While there are many "tools" to give you access to the ECU these days, building a map for *your* bike based on mods wear and tear, service history, etc is paramount. This is done via Air/Fuel data. As a broad brush recap, see; http://www.guzzitech.com/forums/resources/power-commanders-black-box-magic.205/
Nowadays, it's done with automotive style Bosch wide band sensors, and can be done via a Power Commander and AutoTune device which changes things in real time as you ride.
Using a generic map from downloaded from the internet is largely a waste of time and highly risky based on all of those I've seen and dyno/AFR tested. The V11S Ti (kit) ECU is one of the worst offenders for poor running. Assuming your bike doesn't have a lambda/02-sensor stock, disregard the info posted above, which is completely incorrect anyway. I use real science and data provided to me by Dynojet devices (Dyno and AutoTune), by a 100 million $ company who has been at fueling revisions for a very long time. If you want to risk a downloaded map, up to you. Otherwise, feel free to contact me direct email for more info; Todd at GuzziTech.com - I've been at Guzzi Injection corrections for 15+ years. Last post here on the subject.

'02 V11 Scura up for grabs, or will part out. ~21k miles, well ridden, not a show bike. If I don't get any decent offers on it in the next week or so, I'll part it out. Details on it HERE. It has a newly freshened (and never ridden) re-valved/re-sprung Ohlins rear shock with preload adjuster (total bill was ~$750), and the forks were done in the same fashion (total bill was over $1k). I also just put a new lightened Cali steel flywheel in it, never run. Ping me direct email with any questions; Todd at GuzziTech.com

Guys, I have a 3X,XXX mile Scura I'm nearly giving away. It's far from perfect, but a super solid runner with a new lightened steel flywheel and clutch, and it has a never ridden reworked Ohlins shock, and forks. It has a Power Commander and custom fitted Two bros mufflers. Looking to move it quick, and priced accordingly/fairly. It can be bought here; http://www.guzzitech.com/auction/?ult_auc_id=3389
Thanks for looking/any interest.

Thanks for the post Guzzisti. Google landed me here since I just started reproducing the headers again for anyone interested; http://www.guzzitech.com/store/category/exhaust/v11s/ - thanks for the interest/sorry for the spam.
Long time since I've checked in here. Good to see all of the familiar names.

I'm looking for a very clean '02 LM V11 Tenni. Have one or know of one for sale? Contact me here via PM or direct e-mail Todd at GuzziTech.com
-
Guys, I'm building a rear brake solution for V11S variants, that won't be rendered useless after a few corners in the tight, twisty stuff. See this thread ->HERE
I'm trying to see how much interest there is in CNC'ing a rear caliper stay bracket to accept the new 4-piston caliper... this will also finally resolve the early rear bearing failure issue as well. I'd appreciate a reply in the thread above, or direct e-mail; Todd at GuzziTech.com
-
Also, wasnt there a griso only forum out there somewere?
That would be the MG-Griso.com Forum HERE.
As for ECUs, I am able to flash/program *any* 5AM ECU to work on the newer Guzzis. If anyone is in a bind, or wants revisions made, feel free to contact me direct e-mail; Todd at GuzziTech.com - specializing in performance tuning/products.
-
But I would go through Todd Eagan and GuzziTech first, because I know him first hand. Todd should be able to match the price.
Todd was very helpful to me when I pursued buying a Wilbers shock. He gave me all the dimensions which helped me determine that the Wilbers body was longer than the Penske and Ohlins, resulting in higher ride height and less stroke, than what I wanted.
Thanks David, happy to price match for anyone mentioning this site for any V11S product.
p.s. Check in on the GuzziTech.com Southwest Forum, Jim is asking on who's riding this weekend down your way.

I have a set of brand new fork seals and dust caps for '03+ V11 Sport variables with 43mm Marzocchi forks. Brand new in the bag. Sell for $50 shipped for everything.
Also, I am able to source any ('00+) newer Marzocchi fork part. Ship worldwide. Reach me on GuzziTech or direct; Todd at GuzziTech.com

Due to circumstance beyond my control (dang job) I had to abandon my trip to Malibu. Now, a week later I find myself 15 miles down the coast from Malibu ( in Pacific Palisades) wondering what I missed. I'm looking forward to seeing those photos (please)...
Joe, you're a week/half too late.
You on your bike? We're doing a ride tomorrow, Sunday in the SMMs. I'm just down in Santa Monica too, so come join us. Check the GT-SW Forum HERE for details - SoCal Ride, June 6th.
I'll let the few from this board that came give you their thoughts, but on my end, it was a success. I just nudged just beyond break even, so all's OK on my end. I'd wager this was the most expensive/logistical nightmare of all Rallies to date, but I wouldn't change a thing if I had it to do over again. Planning began one year ago, and involved numerous State Park Services, and 10 meetings over the last 7 months. needless to say when the day arrived, no one at the Park knew anything. Perfect.
I will say that I was largely let down on the attendance side of things... nearly 100 people that said they were coming, simply didn't. It makes it tough when you're trying to buy food/drink/etc. Really, when a National is within an hour or two drive, there's no excuse to miss it, even if mid-week. Simply come after work and participate. The Spine framers from this Forum had a very sad showing, IMO.
The track day on Friday was poorly attended as well (from a Guzzi standpoint), but that was expected really. Thanks to OregonAl for his tenacity to "do it all" - he's to be commended for sure, and thanks to DLaing as well.
Plenty of pics littered all over the net now, but here's mine; SoCal-Guzzi.com/Picasa - enjoy.
Now going into hibernation until 2009. Enjoy the ride guys.

Guys, Mark S has the flywheel/baton in Wake Forest, NC this afternoon, and would love to hand it off this weekend... else it'll be stuck in NC until next weekend. Who's the Mid-Atlantic guys who are riding this weekend? I don't think we've had even one spine rider on the East Coast carry the baton yet. Weak.
Details; http://journal.nationalguzzirelay.com/ -- and Google Map HERE.
Send me a direct e-mail if you can help; Todd>at

Exactly one month out to the National, folks!
Please, please, please get your Registrations in sooner the later... but no later then the week before the Rally. From June 21st on, I won't be checking e-mails or my mailbox, and "at the gate" registrations are *STRONGLY* discouraged, as we'll likely fill to capacity for camping. All of my info, or online payment is available HERE.
Look forward to seeing everyone here in sunny SoCal!
Sean, Guy's collection, now combined with Mike Taggert's car collection is at an all new place, and we have it scheduled for the group to attend from the Rally. It's a private collection/showing. Solvang is worth the time... he even has his Guzzi V8 replica! (Photos of both places can be found on the SoCal-Guzzi.com website).
So, how many spineys are actually coming from this list? Should I just just not produce a "Best Spine" show award?

Sign up soon for the relay, coming to city near you.
Leaves LA, San Diego bound tomorrow, and then Arizona on Sunday, and then New Mexico or Texas, and then who knows where.
Fund raiser also open for donations at the relay website: http://www.nationalguzzirelay.com/
Thanks for the post and your participation David(!).
Sad, sad support/participation from this webboard to the Relay or Injured Rider's Fund; http://journal.nationalguzzirelay.com/ -- take it most Spiney guys don't like to ride to far/often here in the U.S.

What am I missing ,and who in SoCal could get me the extra getty up!!
Ah, I know nothing about getting power out of the 2V Guzzi
What you had a hard time keeping up with my little ol' Jackal, eh?
I highly recommend reading this; http://www.guzzitech.com/JTsRosso-John_T.html and then Pt. II.
This has been talked about ad infinitum here.
I am not a big fan of high-comp pistons on a street-ridden air-cooled engine. The best bang-for-the-buck is head work, and simple intake/exhaust mods. Going way back to Manfred Hecht days... it's well proven theory that without spending mucho dinero on the 2V motor, or rev'ing it out to 10k+ rpm, the best of the best motors will get between 90-95 rwhp. John T's words & dyno charts prove this.
ALdad, when you're ready for go fast, let me know.

Any word on the track day after the rally? I haven't found a place to sign up on any of the boards I frequent.
Ahhh... yep, finally do!

Scotch, I'm a user/dealer for both. VDSTS; http://www.guzzitech.com/store/TR-VDSTS.html -- DirectLink; http://www.guzzitech.com/store/TR-DirectLink.html
Indeed the VDSTS is diagnostic scan software, and it is written to cover a large group of ECUs. The VDSTS was once the *only* software used by the factory/dealer network for troubleshooting and tuning. It covers very basic corrective diagnostics for the 1.5M, and allows "trim" fueling adjustments at idle/low throttling.
The DirectLink is a total ECU access software program. It allows map access for fuel, timing and others. It was developed to be used by trained technicians on a dyno. However, that hasn't stopped handfuls from purchasing it to do timing tweaks for engine pinging. While one could potentially develop a fuel map, I still lean towards the PCIII/Tuning Link for that job... however, it can be done. Last I heard, years ago, from someone who used it, cost was well over $1000 USD for custom mapping.
I use it for timing adjustments only, since the PCIII does not.
Hope that helps.

That's me too.
Like Chuck says above about Rick and Gordon, we're so busy at my shop that we can't make or receive calls, AND we're buried in emails, so we have help these days. Still, we can't please everyone, and COVI-tude has changed things for the way worse on every level, including people's demands and expectations. Small business is just that. Impossible to eat restocks or we'll go out of business. I too stock tons of inventory for most all '98-current Guzzis now, including the big list of parts we make in house at my shop in Orange, CA; GTMotoCycles.com -- We'll be moving to a bigger space soon as we're bursting at the seams.
@LaGrasta -- you forget all about me? Though you've never supported us to date, we do have everything you need in stock hanging on the wall. Just a short ride up as you know.
