Announcing a Guzzi Rally in So Cal October 13-14-15

That LeMans is tasty! -
How much were the heads "shaved/ decked/ milled/ surfaced?"
-
No motor paint issues on the 2000, but that one looks like a black engine. Not sure why? More pics?
-
Looking to remount my Zumo (if ever), so thanks for posting all the details of these options!
-
The archivist in me is curious if it was 1999. My Sport was built March 2000, purchased August 3 and was the second one in this state. Not sure if any "1999" made it to the US or how early in '99 they were rolled out.
-
Yeah, the separate left and right signal indicators is for the later V11 (2003-2005) and eliminates the battery warning. Footgoose showed me this change from the early Sports at the South'n Spine Raid. I've been meaning to get one ever since. [edit: the early Sport panel is 0271100]
-
Seems the beloved Dave Richardson (author of Guzziology) really liked the V11 Sport. Some great information I have never read before on the changes to the heads and new pistons. Referencing no less than Dr. John Wittner. As with so many web articles, no date stamp, though.
-
Is there a separate part number for that jeweled indicator card?
-
Right?
-
Write me a *note* !
-
I'm jealous. Those are such great roads!
-
That . . . just . . . drips . . . Isn't that the trapezoidal Euro-spec headlight from the Euro Daytona and Sport 1100?
-
I'm no expert, but I've "hit" valves on other engines and there was, immediately, no compression. Is it possible to hit valves and not bend them enough to fail the seat?
-
Lighter frame, wheels, bodywork... shall I go on? No foot bail on the side stand, no eagle badge on the alternator cover . . . "Take care of the ounces . . . ."

55.3 inch wheelbase, 23ยบ rake, 427 pounds!

Yeah, man, bent valves will have to be a replaced.
-
So a later V11 motor, prior generation 5speeder, and no-telling what SpineFrame! (I noticed the V11-style sidestand, but not sure if those were also used on the the last of the 1100Sport-i)
-
Ah! yeah! Late model V11! What a great catch!
-
What is that "late style V11 engine/trans subframe"? Can you show a pic? I did not know the early (silver) V11) engine differs at all from the late 1100Sport-i?
-
I hope you have someone make a video so we can all "be there!" Pretty exciting stuff!
-
Well, the injected 1100 Sport-i engine still had the 5speeder . . . So, probably not a V11 . . .
-
Does it still have compression in both cylinders? I don't the piston can hit a valve without bending it and losing compression. Something is totally not right, though . . .
-
WOW! Thanks for all the detailed photography! Worth a lengthy study session . . .

Mounting replacement gauges is challenge, truly. There are several different solutions in this thread: Installing Speedhut Gauges
