Grandmother said it would make you go blind.. Not if you throw sparks while at it!

Pressure and voltmeter were Scud's work, so we'll wait on his answer on the sizing. Al, correct, the lighting is always on. The faces and the needles are lit separately.

Installed the Das Mototec foot brake lever today. Not sure when I'll get to ride it, but it is a beautiful piece!

All good so far. Trimmed just 3mm off the brake rod to get my play and adjustability back. Nothing like whacking off a part before you know if it's even available . . .

Well, nuts. I also like a little "play" between the actuating rod and the master cylinder. This is as short as I can make the rod and there is no "play" to save my rear brake pads/ rotor. Looks like the rod will have to be shortened to use the later "bent" levers to suit my taste. FWIW, the neither the "brake rod" nor the Ball Joint changed through the V11 model run.

Here are the three levers on the bench for comparison. Top to bottom: Das Mototec (available in the US through MGCycle), early Sport, late V11. Not sure how the "bend" and the length are going to change my set-up. I prefer the lever be set low and away to keep me from over braking too easily.

2002 - 2005 are 5.5 (1999-2001 are 4.5 inch and all silver or black.)

Twin AH, a set of which, if I may ask?

Yep, the late model V11 parts fiche shows two (2) of those O-rings (as pictured). I did not notice the x2 quantity before. The early line, and its sump adapter, are different, apparently.

Late model V11 return line pictured here. Still not sure how my early Sport is configured. No doubt making this tighter won't help it leak less: Thanks to footgoose for the photo of the return line from a 2003 Rosso Corsa!

Now three!

Harper's Moto Guzzi has had this Rosso Mandello for a little while: http://www.harpermoto.com/2002-rosso-mandello-244.html

Al! Fueling my Guzzichondriosis since June 2002! ( So glad to see you back around, buddy! )

Seems Ghezzi-Brian has them (Kineo) , but I don't see any pricing. http://www.ghezzi-brian.com/en/cerchi-per-moto/kineo-spoke-wheels/

brlawson (RIP) had built these wheels a few years back. I am not sure what happened to them after he passed. Member doslemans has stayed in contact with Bruce's son in Alabama, USA. https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?app=gallery&image=1709

The leak is minor, more of an annoyance. More annoying after I have addressed all of the other (many) leaks of all sorts. Now that I know it is the crankcase vent, it makes more sense that it has been so inconsistent. Some times a little puddle after sitting on the lift, sometimes not. Sometimes more or less... I am toying with the idea of making a little mess removing the line and maybe capping the "reduction" sump adapter to get a look at the connection. Seems if I am going to buy parts, I would get the later "upgraded" line and adapter with the O-ring. After all, I am slowly turning my early Sport into a 2003 Argento Corsa.

Have you checked the contacts in the posted links to see if they are still available?

Or wire spokes (?), like these: https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7014&p=74861 https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16540&p=177693

So, the part numbers for the "pipe"(line) and the "reduction"(sump adapter) differ: 1999-2001 2002-2005 Pipe: 01 15 46 30 01 15 46 31 Reduction: 01 16 13 30 01 16 13 31 I am supposing this means I can't just put an O-ring in there from the later model V11?

oops, sorry. I thought I had put them in the post, but not. I'll check them later. It would be quite something to address this with an O-ring!

Interesting. Thanks for that part #. All of the other part numbers are the same?

I just got news that Harper's found a new one for Twin AH. So, looks like he is all set. He asked that I take this thread down . . . "Good luck, Jim!"

I cannot find an actual "O-ring" in the parts detail, "Oil Pump", Page 42. The #24 "pipe" assembles to the #21"reducer" (adapter) that is screwed into the sump over #20 "gasket" which, upon inspection looks to be a polymer lined "sealing washer" (GU01154230). The same sealing washers used on the banjo fitting at the top of the line and the oil lines to the Oil Cooler, Page 43. Is there another "O-ring" within the line fitting itself?" (That's where mine is weeping.) (Second "powder test" after re-over-tightening-again):

Would a crack be visible on inspection? Some special technique to reveal it?
