Hmmm, you're not still using the $2.10 relays because the very best relays are a whopping $3.47?
-
You pulled the power from Fuse #3? That is the charging circuit from the regulator (the nefarious melting 30 amp fuse). What was wrong with just pulling power directly from the battery?
-
Yep, pretty sure: 3mm hex drive ("Allen key"). I keep one onboard for my TPS fasteners and a 2.5mm for the idle stop screw. I have one those folding sets of hex keys, but they are often impossible to get into tight places.
-
The throttle plates need to be held open 3.2-3.6ยบ to idle. (Or something near that. But won't likely idle with the plates entirely closed in the bores.)
-
I gots a fine Triplett DVOM and a TPS break-out harness . . . and striking distance to your digs . . .
-
Good stuff! Because the TPS is driven from the right throttle body, and that indexes the throttle opening(s) to the ECU / "map", setting the TPS baseline (157 mV) needs doing before "balancing"?
-
They took a fair share of fussing & fiddling, but well worth it, IMO . . .

10,000 miles/ 16.000 km (over two years) on my custom SpeedHut now. My three white-face Veglia speedometers each went about 26,000-30,000 miles , so the jury is still out, but I love them!

my only mod was to machine the bar-ends for CRG mirrors:

Yeah, the "Frame Side Plate" . . . you can actually see a little nick in mine in the image above. Seems the lever doesn't move the same throw in all downdshifts, so check through the range.
-
It "may" be fine, but check the actual voltages. I have returned chargers that claimed "AGM" but didn't demonstrate the unique charge and float voltages for AGM. Odyssey are specific animals, so be aware of their charge voltages and amperages. Lots of EnerSys/Odyssey references in that "Conditioning" thread.
-
Truly! In fact: clean, service, shim, and align the entire Rube Goldberg shift mechanism! Make sure the foot lever does not strike the FrameSidePlate in any gear on the downstroke.

Yessir. And the fork tubes are smaller than later V11. (Pinch surface is 54mm diameter.) It is a complex assembly that includes the riser, pinch bolts, bar with its pinch bolts, isolated grip area, and internal weight with its fastener. "Works of art!" EDIT: Thanks, Andy York! . . . .

If you are dressing an early RedFrame, only clip-ons from 1999-2001 Sports (and Rosso Mandello) will be right.
-
I would watch that vent filter for enough oily mess to drip. Maybe position it above the hugger instead of the tire?
-
https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?/topic/20736-2000-sport-part-out/I scrolled 20 pages of US ebay and found no early "clip-ons". . . Maybe contact our member r3datom9?

You didn't mention the clutch line, but: https://www.ebay.com/itm/02-Moto-Guzzi-V11-V-11-LeMans-Le-Mans-clutch-hydraulic-line-hose/273413732013?hash=item3fa8ba76ad:g:DWIAAOSwoYxbd20Thttps://www.ebay.com/itm/02-Moto-Guzzi-V11-V-11-LeMans-Le-Mans-clutch-hydraulic-line-hose/273413732013?hash=item3fa8ba76ad:g:DWIAAOSwoYxbd20T

Early style clip-on, complete assembly, NOS (left hand) has more of a > wow< price, but it shows the complete assembly that is often separated by "breakers": https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-OEM-MOTO-GUZZI-V11-SPORT-MANDELLO-1100-99-01-LH-HALF-HANDLEBAR-GU01600731/183793052329?epid=2265136455&hash=item2acaeb6aa9:g:mFAAAOSw1IlZwtkYhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-OEM-MOTO-GUZZI-V11-SPORT-MANDELLO-1100-99-01-LH-HALF-HANDLEBAR-GU01600731/183793052329?epid=2265136455&hash=item2acaeb6aa9:g:mFAAAOSw1IlZwtkY

Hey! Front brake lines? Huron, Ohio . . . your neighbors! https://www.ebay.com/itm/02-Moto-Guzzi-V11-V-11-LeMans-Le-Mans-front-brake-lines-hoses/401583528402?hash=item5d803e59d2:g:XKQAAOSwvJNbd3Hjhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/02-Moto-Guzzi-V11-V-11-LeMans-Le-Mans-front-brake-lines-hoses/401583528402?hash=item5d803e59d2:g:XKQAAOSwvJNbd3Hj

There are a few V11 in parts on US ebay. Have you looked there? Otherwise, seems this thread would be best in "Classifieds: Wanted" since an '01 RedFrame is not an "Older Model." Well, not to us, anyway!
-
Come to think of it, the later Warning Light cluster also differs: no charging/battery light and turn indicators for right and left. I suppose the wiring connector would also differ in that case (?)
-
The cable drive to the speedometer is different on the early white-face Veglia. I have seen the later cable (" bent tube" guide at the gearbox) used to drive them, so may be worth a try without changing to the early "bevel drives." Neither the later black-face nor the early white face instruments have been terribly reliable.

Don't give up on your Odyssey just yet . . . If your charger has a Manual Mode, set it for 6+ amps and monitor the voltage with a good voltmeter. Do not exceed 15 volts. There is an entire thread on "Conditioning the PC545" along with references to a list of chargers approved by EnerSys (Odyssey):
