you should also check out Rockwell Cycles on 9W the word is that DucatiNY is severing its ties with Piaggio and if not already, will soon no longer be an Aprilia or Moto Guzzi dealer. btw, they charge $105/hr.... here is Erik's shop in williamsburg: Works Engineering he is actually moving his shop and has been very busy.

hi there, i figured i'd add my fuse-blowing problem i received a new tach from the dealer as a replacement ordered by the PO under warranty (but then the dealership was sold, the bike was sold, and i ended up having to fork over the $$$ for the tach, darn). having the new tach wired up causes the 5A turn-signal fuse (#7) to blow, religiously, but only when the engine is running. i do indeed know the rules, and abide by them. last week i took the tach back off, removed the tank, poked around w/ the multi-meter to find obvious shorts in the turn-signal and tach wiring, found nothing, put everything back together, and the problem persists. and of course, disconnecting the tach fixes the problem i've been working off of carl's amazing wiring diagram and i'm pretty sure i have the tach wired properly, but then again... red/black -> + black -> ground yellow/black -> 1 yellow -> bulb black (circle connector) -> tach mounting screw the fuse simply blows, no melting or excessive heat as above. i can even hear it pop if the seat is off when i fire the bike up. any ideas?

it wasn't me, but let me know when the next pizza tour is. DiFara's on Ave J is worth the hype and i've heard Totonno's in Coney Island is a good destination spot. -daniel (silver v11 with a black nolan helmet)

count me in for one as well, and thanks!

looks like you can now order this tool directly from ZDMAK for $21.99 including shipping, complete with guzzi-specific marketing http://www.toolss.com/ search for VA6011

hey, this looks nice: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/174370853.html (i was cruising for guzzis with my craigslist motorcycles program ) it would just be silly to get a black one to match my grey '01 sport, right?

how did it go, do you have a link to any photos?

hi i am getting ready to change the fork oil on my v11 (~1600mi ) and i wanted to get a little more security up front than the factory stand's barbell provides, has anyone used the Pit-Bull New Front stand in tandem with the guzzi factory stand? i've read in my search here that the Pit-Bull Rear stands are prone to slipping so i figure i'll go with the factory stand. i've already received my Pit-Bull New Front stand and #1 pin (and a #2 for my friend's ducati monster)... thanks

hey, yeah, where did ya get the CF chin-pad?

bummer man! not a good week in nyc. monday morning i got sideswiped by a car, flew a good distance and skidded a bit more. i am fine (thanks to the CE armor), just a few sore muscles, but my triumph got banged up pretty good. good thing it wasn't my new guzzi!

this forum is the bomb. figured i'd chime in with my first post. been lurking here for a couple of months, picked up an '01 V11 sport 2 weekends ago and got it registered today. parking indoors in brooklyn. next project is to find a tank bag and get some miles in. this is my first modern motorcycle, very happy with the choice. again, this forum is invaluable.
