At first I thought, "A $300 light bulb!" But, hey, it's a two pack!

Ducatis and Daytonas . . . not the usual SSR riffraff! Before you know it, some lovely couple will be serving espresso from a tricolor kiosk.

I'm not even sure what that headlight thing is. Reminds me of a mantle in a white gas lantern. We always thought of those a some sort of "fuse." The 1157 tail lamp looks like an LED I tried. It was bright, but extremely unidirectional. It did not illuminate the big, stock red lens which does a good job, otherwise, of throwing light in more of a "flare."

Right? That's what the long travel suspension is for! Win-win!

Somehow, this reminds me of people base-jumping in wing suits. Amazing, fascinating, stunning, and beyond my comprehension. One of those, "If this is the answer, what was the question?"

It is rare that the eccentric needs adjusting. Rather more common that the foot lever strikes the frame side plate ("pork chop") in the downstroke. Worth inspecting, cleaning, lubricating, and adjusting (perhaps even shimming) the foot lever first. By "clutch pump" I thought Tomek was referring to what we might say "master cylinder" although the slave could also be considered a sort of "pump" as well.

AKA "pulling the trigger!" I recognize the tags on the exhaust canisters!

I'm jealous! Wish I could get there!

What I said . . .

Sheesh - Laverdas? Helicopter pilots are afraid of nothing!

Ok, so I'll bite: Meccanica Verghera Agusta Turismo Veloce Lusso

Here it is: Posted in September , 2006, by Phil A who had done the work on a V10: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18909&p=100986 And Phil A's follow post later in the same thread (Paper Filters & Airbox Lid Mod in "How To . . ." originally posted by Greg Field): http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18909&p=101119

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_resonance That is fascinating science. I had thought the turn-down snorkels were simply to reduce intake noise for regulation concerns. Now, I simply must find the write-up on increasing the bell mouths with heat and a glass bottle. Personally, I would be concerned about using the correct glass bottle . . .

I think we'll take this great topic up in 24/7 V11 to get the best traffic . . . Dream bikes you would like to have

I ask about the part number on the triple tree because there was , reportedly, a change from the very earliest RedFrame Sports that softened the rake 0.5˚. If yours is "pre-softened", it may be a little harder to set up just right.

There was also some great data on expanding the mouths of the stock airbox intakes with some excellent results. I can't find it now . . . anyone have that link?

I've heard of a "three dog night" (they don't have those in So.Cal. ), but a Three Pie Ride? That ought to worth some motor-minutes! ​What does guzzidiag say the ECU is seeing from the Engine Temperature Sensor?

Yeah, these guys seem to know one another!

Make it up to her. Give her a "Pearl Necklace" . . .

It's a Honda . . . may be no tools required! Well, enough to change the battery. Drain the fuel? (On board Honda tool kit?) Service the tire pressures and chain . . . What else?

The K&N has been a worry at times, though I do clean and recondition it once yearly religiously. By "religiously" means I burn incense, use incantations (blues music), and drink good beer. It's worked so far, but I'm reluctant to leave out any of the steps . . .

Looks like a legitimate roadside repair photo - riding leathers and a V11 side stand sticking up at the prescribed angle!

You know you're in good company when a chap posts simultaneously about cheap tools and good Scotch . . .

So, the bottom line is: it doesn't make any difference as long it is a 15M ECU?

PS.On V11 the dipstick is turned fully in when checking the oil, for some reason on the last generation Cali 1100 from 2006 on not anymore. As the manual says, "Screw it up" which has a rather different meaning in American English!
