  1. Yes, the 2003-on Rosso Corsa are long frame V11 with the long tank (internal pump/filter) and the LeMans faring with the checkerboard graphics. And Ohlins!). @MojoFuzzi's Rosso Corsa The 2001 Rosso Mandello is a special edition first generation Sport with short (black) frame, short tank (chin pad with external pump/filter), and a carbon fiber "flyscreen" (fork mounted). @Guzzijens's Rosso Mandello If you leave a Rosso Corsa and a Rosso Mandello in the garage too long without adult supervision, a Ballabio could be the outcome . . . @Steve S's Ballabio
  2. I just had an 18 SEER, 2 ton, SAMSUNG mini-split installed in an 850 square foot garage with a twelve foot ceiling. This has completely transformed the space into something that can be used to work in or play music, including keeping sensitive string instruments there.
  3. Would love to see your V11, @MojoFuzzi! Take a few minutes and set up an Album in the forum's Gallery:
  4. Looks like the "pressure bleeder" I see specified in the BMW ///M roadster manual. Need to get-me one o' them . . .
  5. Testers are cheap and easy to use.
  6. I just sourced Saint-Gobain Tygon tubing (F-4040-A) for a short length of reservoir hose. Looks like I should have gotten Tygon 2375 for this application . . .
  7. I so appreciate all the replies! I knew I could count on you guys!
  8. The vacuum speeds up the process? Or is most desirable, otherwise?
  9. Thanks, gst! I have always done the press lever/pedal->open bleeder->close bleeder-> release lever/pedal->repeat/repeat/repeat. So, just open the bleeder and let the fluid drain into a catch can (or use the vacuum pump) while keeping fluid in the reservoir?
  10. When gravity bleeding (flushing), or using a vacuum pump, is the master cylinder chocked open?
  11. This is the method I expected Phil would use. It amazes me that threads can be cut on a lathe. Doubly more-so: internal threads . . .
  12. Growing up with US "TV", I never knew what a musician and guitarist Glen Campbell was. Plus, I love this song . . .
  13. Have you checked ebay for particular parts lately? I have also had good outcomes searching the actual Guzzi part number in a web search engine
  14. There are well known ways to achieve this seemingly desirable racket . . .
  15. What color starter cover, Dave? Last OEM turn signals I got from MGCycle (your Wisconsin neighbors!). Joe Kenny makes a brake pedal that won't snap off, but I like the one from HMB Moto (Germany) better . . . Yet, I cannot find anything from Joe Kenney online now.
  16. I read that as "Fastena!" . . . And thought, "Damn, I remember Fast Tina, too!"
  17. Yes, Piaggo made this (paraphrased) declaration early on : Aprilia = racing Moto Guzzi = travel Vespa = lifestyle Piaggio = urban/commute I, for one, was relieved, and am good with that. Hopefully, some sort of "Sport" / "LeMans" will still be in the offing. I mean, how could the marketing department resist?

    ECU talk

    "PSSST! Hey! Hey-ya, buddy . . . come let me whip a tune on that Goozzee of yours " . . .
  19. Gotta love a plan like this . . .
  20. Unless it's a dry clutch with twin friction plates and a steel intermediate. In a basket flywheel. With a couple hundred thousand kays on it, all ridden like a jackrabbit on hot lava. Then it sounds like nine monkeys fighting their way out of a cymbal factory with ball pein hammers.
  21. The factory braided steel lines are on the right side of the engine for the remote oil tank. That is a very nice example complete with the auxiliary air pump on the left side of the engine and the original exhaust. Good to see the tail cowl in place, as well.
  22. "Oh, no, man. They're like medical. Like, seriously, man ."
  23. The GSA looks perfect for this trek. You would need two V11 to carry that load-out!
  24. I used the crank mine down with slip-joint pliers. It's a hairy-knuckled cludge, but helped. Just a reminder to inspect the screw down housing where it is inserted into the angle drive. Make certain is pressed in fully.
