Something about the scale of the cylinders/headers relative to the exhaust pipes/canisters makes me think PhotoShop . . . .

Here they went: Still, wanted to keep those nice images of your happy Sport here in her new digs:

Maybe remove the TPS and replace it rotated on the drive blade of the throttle body? (Not sure which direction of rotation . . .)

CARC Beast! That ain't no V85 . . . Or is it? What is it?

I thought maybe it was just a static display, but I see a chain off the gearbox output shaft. Probably a traditional Big Daddy Ed Roth shift pattern . . .

Heh, more like where they went . . . Those straight header pipes!! I want one!

Cleaned up nicely! I love old wood, so would be trying to preserve some panels, beams or structural members. Makes such a great backdrop for the photo shoots. (I also get the "brighten it up" thing . . . . so maybe just keep the wood up front toward the doors?) She looks quite happy in her new digs!

Well, I thought the "Riddler" @Tinus89 knew the answer to the "riddle", but apparently not. So, this is more of a >conundrum < That tire wear is not normal, in any way. (Ruling out the smoky burn-outs!) . . . Swingarm out of alignment (as @footgoose said)? Sure , there is no "adjustment" for that on a V11, but a failed (left side?) swingarm bearing could drag the tire like that . . .

I've scrubbed many o' left-side front tire on my Sport. But never a rear like Tunus89 shows. I would have that axle and reardrive out for a good inspection, IIWM . . . Perhaps, even time to verify swingarm bearings. Otherwise, maybe he's just been doing smoky donuts, anti-clockwise!

I had long wondered if this would be opposite in the Southern Hemisphere. So much for the Coriolis Effect.

In right lane driving countries, this makes perfect sense because of the longer sight line and consequent confidence to enter and maintain higher speeds in the left-handers with the longer visual lead. But on skis? Or where you ride on the left side of the road? Y'all boys prolly ain't bad broke, but could be twisted or bent kinda strange . . .

Very nice! I hope you'll keep us up on it with a thread of your own in "Older Models" or some posts in this delightful thread:

Looking forward to @ferguzzi's reply. Here is the solution @Canonman posted for his Tenni project:

I'll change your topic title to get better eyes on the topic. Welcome, TeddyG!

Well, one characteristic of a "riddle" is that the riddler already knows the answer . . .

My front certainly wears on the left more. Largely because I corner much (much) harder through the left-handers than the relatively tighter right-handers we have in the right-side-drive US. Tinus89's wheel looks decidedly "cocked" over along with the dramatic tire wear and heat evidence, as if it were being dragged. I'm with KINDOY2 on it being an axle bearing issue (maybe wheel, maybe reardrive) . . . "We do loves a riddle, we do!"

@TeddyG's buddy likely has a V11 Ballabio, then. I do not believe there is room for a piggy back reservoir on a V11 . . .

I am guessing that it is, perhaps, not the 2007-2012 "Bellagio," but the 2004-2005 V11 "Ballabio?" V11 Ballabio Bellagio 940 (Were these ever sold in the US?)

IIRC, @GuzziMoto blocked one of the bypass holes (lower one, I forget?). I see this set of Gallery images by @Drewteague where he blocked both:

It is our "leading edge", after all . . . The Big Block Guzzi's "nose to the grindstone."

Ended up being rather (Aer)Macchi . . . not really what I started after, just what it became. Not for everyone. Clear-coated what would not strip to the wire wheel . . .

Seems simple enough to ream the cover's mounting holes and slide in a "sleeve" to take up the torque of the fastener? Otherwise, I gave up on these cf covers and totally went off the tracks . . .

Then add a Gambalunga badge from @sp838 ? https://www.shapeways.com/product/ABDSPQG9A/gambalunga-badges-both-no-steel?optionId=23113230&li=shopshttps://www.shapeways.com/product/ABDSPQG9A/gambalunga-badges-both-no-steel?optionId=23113230&li=shops [sp838 offers "DeTomaso" eagles, too. Yet the V11 was built after the DeTomaso era while the original V11 Sport was "drawn after the Gambalunghino" according to the designer: Luciano Marabese. This Gambalunga/Gambalunghino emblem (c. 1949) will always be proper for the Marabese designed V11 Sport.]

Wow, what a delight! That is awesome. Makes me feel better about what my own bass has evolved into. Sheehan's bass, "The Wife," totally reminds me of my Sport. Might even be some hidden "hotel room repairs" . . .

Tinus89's Rosso Mandello is 2001. And, yeah, what are those? The was nothing plugged into the connector on the left? And those yellow wire loops . . . from a previous owner?
