PS, I'm a bit suprised that the ever diligent @docc hasn't already split off the Quota injectors from the children's charity theme, but I assume he is busy with life, the universe, and everything. I know I am at the moment.
Haha, true on all counts. Yet, all of the discussion remains about the OP's GuzziQ within his own thread.

BTW , tires are like BBQ sauce . Everyone has different tastes . You can get 100 opinions and when it is said and done , you will have to decide for yourself !
Having followed myriad tire (and oil) threads on the interwebs, and on tarmacs, I would venture some consensus:
1) Tires (and oil) are good!
2) Fresh tires (and oil) are ALWAYS better than worn out tires (and oil).
3) Change tires (and oil). Ride & repeat.

Except I'm waiting for some guzzidiag leads...
I would not let that delay your start-up as all you can change with guzzidiag is the CO Fuel Trim. You can definitely do that later. You are doing all of the important stuff. On the "tune-up", most important is new sparkplugs, valve adjustment, and TPS baseline. Once started, a throttle body balance is in order.
Having seen CO Fuel Trim values in the negative double digits, it will be curious where you find it before setting to zero . . .

All of the early RedFrame Sports, and the Rosso Mandello have a "channel" on the leading edge of the riser that mounts below the triple clamp, visible in this view. These also have the "locator" tab with the three holes:
Is this channel present on your pieces, @Steve Swan ? What is the rise from the top of the pinch clamp to the bottom of the hole for the bar? (I get 45mm on the RedFrame Sport.)

That's what I think about the blue!

I thought I recognized those , but this will be of no help . . .
Let's not give up, though. Those risers look worth identifying . . .

Thanks for the screenshot for those of us that cannot see "fb", @fastaussie.
A Nero Corsa for $4000US OBO?
Where is it located?

Only if you love it. If you love the Motorex, refill it with that. After a couple changes, the Redline will be gone. Just realize your first refill might not be "volumetric" as so much of that HeavyWeight remains inside after draining. Maybe underfill, run it in, and use the sight glass for the final fill.
FWIW, I abandoned the HeavyWeight and use RLSP LightWeight (blue) in the gearbox and reardrive. No matter what oil, though, change on time and don't overfill . . .

Looks like RedlIne ShockProof HeavyWeight.
Nothing wrong with re-filling with your choice of gearoil.
Realize that the RLSP Heavy clings internally like nothing else and it becomes too easy to overfill after it drains (or doesn't, entirely!) . . .

Nothing wrong with posting those here. Thanks for the good images.
Do those have any numbers cast into them?

I will have to look at the parts manual to see about this or this innovation ?
Pretty sure that is an aftermarket "footpeg" arrangement. Not sure who marketed that particular one (?)
Notably, the footpeg, itself, is missing in that view . . .

I didn't use a Sigma, I used a Speedhut
the sensor was mounted in place of age speedo cable at the gearbox
It worked very well
I highly recommend the Speedhut line.

I may be wrong, but my head is wrapped around the idea that the V11 Tenni is a rare color, not a rare bike.
That is well put. The chassis, exhaust, engine management, and suspension are all 2002 LeMans. I really do love the Tenni color scheme.
Yet, it is pretty well known here that I love ALL of the V11 SpineFrames.

I just drove a couple hours through the leeward edge of it. Just rain and no high winds. My old stomping ground on the Florida left coast got it.
The storm surge is the worst. Not just a wall of fast moving water, but pushing trees and cars and debris. Then it has to flow back out....-

Sorry for the confusion Docc. Here's the deal. I noticed the ebay ad a few days before the John Day rally. The ad read 2 V11s for sale, and a price of $13,000. No mention of $13k each. Hence the inference that $13k was for the pair, not just by me but also a friend that I sent the link to see if he wanted one. I guess we are both idiots.
I checked the ad immediately after the rally and the price had been dropped to $9000. I still assumed it was for the pair as there was still no mention of $9k each. This price was only up for a day or two, then the ad went away. I no longer cared because it was at this time I had found a Greenie locally.
It wasn't until Activpop mentioned he had spoken with the seller and the price was $13k each, that the $9k must have also been for each.
I only posted in the first place because in the original ad, he gave more history and details, including the extra wheel, and thought maybe someone else had seen it.
Thanks for the clarification. I also recall the Two-for-One sale pricing. Yet, the confusion is not ours.
Best regards to the seller of these nice V11.
Caveat emptor , as always . . .

Big blow coming up the Gulf of Mexico, Florida Left Coast (Helene). Best wishes to my brothers and sisters in the mangroves, hammocks, and inland from the storm surge. Y'all take care, ya hear . . .

Docc looks stock but could it be a 2002 rear wheel installed on an 01?
Would it even fit? 
Yes, the 5.5" from the LongFrames will fit the earlier ShortFrames. I've just never seen or heard of a 5" "Racing" rim for the early Sports. None of the later bikes had silver rims like that, but a later 5.5" rim could have been color changed, of course.
7 hours ago, MotoKnee said:If you spoke in person, I'm sure you must be right. $13k seems optimistic, the $9000 he dropped to immediately after the rally is fairly significant.
Yet, that $13,000 was for the pair of V11? While the Greenie is priced $8,500US, by itself, now?

I am a fan of the Honda Spray cleaner polish. Works well to shine the metal parts and is decent at cutting through normal amounts of grease and oil.

Good stuff! With a great aroma . . .
Pretty sure it is (or was) this formula:

Is this Greenie in Idaho anyone here?
Anyone heard of these wheels mentioned?

Apologies, I was unaware of the "back story" with the Gutsibits supplied Roper plates. I'd also surmised (incorrectly?) that I'd missed the boat by a few months getting one from the guys supplying the plates from this forum, otherwise would have gone down that route in any case.
Anyhow, I've just made a donation to Medicine sans Frontiers myself to honour Pete's input to these.
Wow, my man, welldone!
I had not considered that option.
I cannot recall if @DucatiGuzziIndian has any plates left from his run. @Pressureangle told me he has a resource to run a one-off.
Thanks for keeping us up on your V11 progress, @wavey_davey1.

That's what Redline ShockProof looks like, an "emulsion." Same with the Lightweight/blue.
