Heh . . . fish-finder . . . I didn't see that box to tick on the Speedhut website . . . See, what else am I missing here?

Right? First two photos: original orange-faced LeMans . . .

Some ideas seem so brilliant on the front. Before the slippery slope presents . . .

I was able to get the WIX 51215 to come up for the 2000 H-D 883, but not the 1200. 1984-2007 H-D Sportster 883 ought to turn up a filter anywhere.

Tom's solution is the best I have seen, by far; assuming one wants to keep the original rod. (I do! ) I know a guy that has put some serious miles on a set of Delrin bushings. I'll have to check in with him for a report . . .

I don't think I posted a crossover with the Wix.. True, that. What year range Ford Transit Connect have the same oil filter that fits the V11?

WIX application chart does not bring up the 51215 for me on the Ford 2.0 Transit Connect. Earlier, I searched a bunch of Fords and Mazdas to find the 51215, but it never came up. Did I say ?

Don't let those connectors keep you up at night. Looking at the CO Fuel Trim can be done cold. Changing it with guzzidiag has to be done at operating temperature. Meinolf favors changing the CO Fuel Trim in the EEPROM, but that's outside my pay grade.

That is nicely done, Tom! Would it benefit from some seals (O-rings?) on each side to keep the weather out? I've always thought properly dimensioned Delrin bushings would be ideal replacements. Cheap material, easy to work, press out the old ones, in with the new and *roberto è tuo zio.*

Those connectors are unused on the V11. BTW, where did you find your CO Fuel Trim set?

Haha - yeah, man: centimeters! Five and 1/3 inches . . .

All this Greenie Attitude is getting so thick and sticky . . . like hot zydeco on a sweaty bayou.

Docc, it says 50 but can't tell if it's + or - 50. Sorry docc, thought that was directed to me. John Not a problem. I'm always curious where we find the CO. I haven't looked at the that display in a while, but I recall the "minus" ( - ) being obvious. It certainly will be when you move the CO setting. 50, either way, seems kind of extreme . . .

Martin, Where did you find the CO to begin with?

If I had not seen so many relay failures on V11, I would be inclined to agree wholeheartedly. So, not only is there sketchy empirical evidence, but also lots of marginal science.

Bruce's salute to Chuck Berry just a few weeks ago; http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18925&p=218208

Aw . . . aw, man . . . what a great guy . . . Bruce. . . . . . . . . he will be so missed. Godspeed Bruce . . . .

Pretty sure I can improve on this set-up . . .

Custom gauges delivered: just over six weeks including the meticulous face design process. Tonight, out comes the Dremel and the wire cutters . . .

So, I noticed your Greenie has steel "flnned" exhaust flanges. Most V11 exhaust flanges are smooth alloy pieces. From that, I always thought your V11 was an early build and *might* have the very early "steeper triple clamps." But my Sport was built March 2000, so I guess Luigi just wanted you to have those (beautiful!) finned exhaust flanges. Very, very unlikely you have the "steeper triples." Sounds like you just need to spec your springs and "set up" your suspension. (You'll be sooooo happy you did!) My build tag says "MFD BY Moto Guzzi Co. ITALY" just above the inscribed build date, and "THIS VEHICLE CONFORMS TO ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS blah-blah-blah" . . . This is on the metal tag on the left side of the frame head tube. So: frame (vehicle) Made in Italy. There is a paper tag on the right side of the spine frame, but I can't see it with the tank on. Is that where you see the New Zealand wording? [P.S. - The majority of US Federal labels were applied to my swingarm under the "hugger." My replacement swingarm, from Germany, has none of these stickers.]

Yeah, man, if you could gets springs spec'd for your weight-in-gear, and set the preloads for the "sags" it will transform the stability.

Correct: the [3 pin-> OBD] has 12 volt power clips, but the actual [OBD -> USB] has to be correctly FTDI chipped.

Nice LeMans! Welcome!!
