If anyone is going to shelve their heavy Brembo, I'd be interested in it. I have a collection of old, heavy, well worn Guzzi parts. Most people would immediately recognize them as my Sport . . .

+1. Rossi, is your cooler fitted with the protective screen? (Seems they did away with it after a while).

Looks like both the EBC and the Brembo weigh 3 pounds. Maybe there is a big difference in cost?

Very easy to see the difference in the alternator cover: 2012, 2013, "early" 2014 V7 2014 wet alternator Apparently, an early translation from Latin yielded the word "flywheel" prompting the confusion that there would be a wet clutch. A more careful translation from Italian clarified the change: (lifted this post from Mike H on MGCGB) Bing translate: "a new flywheel in oil bath replaces the previous alternator to dry, slightly modifying the front of the V-twin di 90°" Google translate: "a new motor in oil bath replaces the previous alternator dry, slightly modifying the front of the V-twin 90°" Success! Google translate from ITALIAN not LATIN ..... "a new rotor in oil bath replaces the previous alternator dry, slightly modifying the front of the V-twin 90 °"

Hi, Dennis! Good to see you around! There is this recent thread by Bjorn who started on the outboard needle bearing and went on to document an entire restoration of the swingarm and reardrive (excellent): Rear drive needle bearing and swing arm restoration I remember the P.Roper thread with his faithful assistant, Colin the Happy Chicken. I watched Andy York, The Seal Whisperer, work his magic on my rear drive, but don't recall a specific thread with the details.

I really like the V11 footpegs. From a design point of view they are very sleek and sexy like something from Prada. Their position has only bothered me rarely on very long days (400-500 miles/ 650-800 km), and I don't do that anymore. The knurled pieces are very technical and modern. The price is surprisingly reasonable. Unless the shipping is $80.

Be aware the fronts and rears are different - you certainly can't use rears on the front. I don't know if you can use fronts on the passenger brackets.

Especially a very good hammer! With what looks like, in your pictures, tools of Gedore-Vanadium!

Darn good post here by Mike Stewart in 2005 with pics even!

It was my recollection that others have fitted Monster pegs to the V11 as the stock Ducati units have a comfy rubber surface. I don't recall any modifications. But, of course, that's all recollection and recall and worth precisely what you just paid for it!

Like these on ebay for Ducati Monster?

That's a nicely done, simple solution. Although, I've often wondered why no one has fitted the Centauro parts as they look both lower and further forward.

Yo, g: stop speaking in code. You mean "RUST!"

Wait! What? A magnet sticks hard to my front's center carriers!

Ah! That makes sense (of course). Looking forward to your rotor solutions as my rear is going to the thin side. These latest EBC grinders don't sound like they are being too kind to the rotor!

Mine only weighs 500 pounds when it's out of gas. FWIW, an early (2000) stock (worn out) front Brembo rotor weighs 1798 grams/ 3.96 pounds. I can't imagine the rear weighs that much, but I don't have one off to weigh.

They look to be 2mm x 15mm long, although they stick out a bit at that. I suppose a #1 machine screw (maybe a #2) would work if your bike's not allergic to an occasional SAE faster . . .

Yet, on the stock mapping, the TPS position is based on 1050 rpm. I have found that expecting the mapping to function smoothly when actually calibrating at 750 rpm (my tach is off 300), is frustrating at best. I also find that I cannot expect the big Guzzi to idle reliably in traffic circumstances with high ambient temperatures at leas than 1000. Learning the error in the tach helped me better find a suitable idle speed and better fueling.

Fantastic! Added a link to these posts in the FAQ Wheels Off Maintenance Checklist.

Changing the brake master cylinder?

Hey, Rex, those Tigers have a nice character all their own and your wrist will thank you! Don't wander too far off!

If it comes to pass then, there will be "early" 2014 V7 with the old alternator, like my son's. It's front cover is identical to 2013.

As always, subtle observation is being applied to the forums to propose an appropriate Tech Session for the SSR. As of this writing, Sparky the Smoke Wrangler is, once again, going cross-eyed over wiring diagrams and packing up spare relays, fuses, and bulbs for the occasion. wear safety glasses

I shielded mine with a zinc plated/ braided copper tubing that I believe I sourced at the auto parts. It's probably 5/8" diameter and slides over the 1/2 fuel line. The same material (usually smaller) is used to make up grounding straps. Also, I shortened my line to get it away from the cylinder finning and used zip-ties and braided plastic (likely polypropylene) shielding to seal the ends of the braided metal cover. In the photo, you can also see a couple zip-tie heads positioned to hold the line off the throttle cable guide and keep it from slipping onto the cable itself.
