Bent or not I could never live with it the way it looks from the rear.. it's cockeyed.. I'd try bending or making a new bracket to bring the right side in to match as close as possible. but. NOw that I look my Lemans was that way too even with Mistral mufflers.

Best Guzzi Service Shop in the Los Angeles/Orange County Area?

But also, Mark Etheridge at Moto Guzzi Classics is a classic himself.. a real genuine guy. -
Just wondering, you've seen a beautiful greenie with low miles reasonable price and didn't take it immediately home?
-
Some Scurra bikes had the exploding single plate clutch flywheel ... I'd want to be sure it had a two friction plate clutch.
-
You could also get an Africa Twin with auto transmission. Might not look any better tho..
-
Your EV, you could replace the 8x33 rear drive to a 7x33 from an older Tonti frame bike, all the 850's and the G5, SP and Cal 2 had the 7x33, I did that swap on a Bassa (same drive train as an EV), really livened up the fun factor.

drive belts are superior to chain and driveshaft.

Stew, your SO wrong but to each his own, my Uly was way more bike than any of the dozen Guzzis in my past. ps, bike shown is an XB9

LOL

Putting an 18" wheel on front would be a really dumb idea. Any good sport bike wears 17" rims.

ANSWERED Wiring harness beneath the seat. Question.

The regulator gets a ground through a captured nut, dodgy at best. Run a wire from the regulator case to engine block so you have a solid ground connection. -
A couple HD emblems would look right at home on the orange, just add a little black. Is that green the same as what you can see on some VW bugs from the same era?

Just me personally but I think pod filters will be a mistake.
-
We host pics somewhere else on the web and use the IMG code to insert here.

I don't think you'll find an outside filter set up...they are made for the big twin in the Tonti frames but not for the V11. The sump is quite different with the oil cooler plumbing . here's what the hose clamp stop looks like in one of those Tonti big twins, it will be different in your bike but you get the picture..
-
Still Italian at least, a pic says a thousand words
-
The fact that it has a wheelbase 8" shorter than a v11 and probably all the carc bikes too. And 400#. Traction control and ABS

I got new to me hyperstrada.

At first I was like " why paint a greenie?" But your scheme looks pretty nice.
-
That is the anti tamper bolt that goes into the bottom of the Ignition switch or it's mount. Its meant to be not removable . They screw it in then snap the head off. It's not easy to remove but sometimes they loosen up and fall right out.. I once cut a groove in one to get it out with a screw driver.
-
I thought the cure for the cough was to bin the stock crossover and put on a Mistral.. that's what I did and thought it was fixed.. sadly I no longer own it.
-
Better yet ask Pete what happens if you ride it hard, do wheelies and run full bore up hill with out the plate.. so not knowing how it was ridden by previous owners I chose not to buy.
