Sorry Mick. Yes those are the ones I ordered. My computer skills are lacking. I couldn't figure out how to get the direct link to copy. Glad you did, thanks! Brian

If anyone is still interested in these, I found what I think are the same here. https://www.ebay.com/str/copionesrl I'm not sure they are the same, but look so. I have ordered two and will report back when they arrive. Brian

I should have deleted this. After looking a bit I determined these would be to long for my use and went a different way. Thanks for the interest! Brian

Thank you, I really only want the emblem and purchasing a complete side cover is too pricey and wasteful in my case. They will not be going on a V11 Sport so just don't need a side cover. Brian

I'm looking for the small side cover emblem with the green, white, red, stripes and the checker board. Apparently no longer available. GU01576031 Guzzi calls it a name plate. If anyone has a pair or even one? Brian

I am so glad it's working out! Brian

I stand corrected, so does my android. Lame excuse I know right? At least in this case, we were able to connect, so there is that. Brian

I pmed pressure angle a few minutes ago with Daves contact info. I'm done with this. Between pa and Dave now. Brian

Dave Blue is by no means a thief! My name is Brian McCall. I have known the original owner of this bike since he bought the bike from GT Motors in Lansing, MI where I was working at the time. I uncrated the bike and set it up for owner. I have a personal stake in this as I am the person who transported the transmission to Dave. I was given the transmission in a box which I then transported to Dave. I never inspected the contents of the box. Dave called sometime later and asked where the back cover was. I referred him to the owner who claimed it was all in the box he gave to me at Barber Motorsports. I have no idea where the back cover is or has been. I do not believe either Dave or I ever saw or had possession of the back cover. My belief is that the original owner misplaced the cover and did not include it with the partially disassembled transmission I was given. I spoke with Dave this morning and I am willing to put the current owner in touch with Dave and have Dave's permission to do so. I think the original transmission should go back into this bike. I get the feeling that Dave does too. Brian

True confessions, back when I was young my brother and I used my Bell Star to increase the effectiveness of the funny little cigarettes we smoked. This scheme worked so well that on leaving my brothers apartment on my way to work one summer evening, I pulled up to a stop light next to a beautiful young lady in a convertible with the top down, just as I made eye contact and pulled to a stop I realized I had forgotten to put my foot down. I crashed into the side of her car with my head above the door. Too high I guess, I don't remember what was said but the upshot was I was a complete dolt and should find a better way to introduce myself to people. BMC

Tx, The way I always check them is to unscrew the cap from the wire and check just the cap with dvom. The wire is solid core so while the cap is off I always nip the used part of the wire off to give the cap's internal screw stud a new bite. The caps are available from several sources, one shouldn't have to give a lot for them, five or six USD seems about right. I know it may be sacriligious to some but check Dennis Kirk or some of the other el cheapo places. I have never seen them open and not show on a dvom but I suppose its possible. The reason they affect things more at idle and slow speeds is that the engine is turning slowly enough that the firing voltage is lower because the input voltage to the coil is lower ( you know how those Guzzi's charge ) and the need is greater because at slow engine speeds the mixture is harder to light and higher engine speeds allow this to sort of go unnoticed as the flywheel keeps the engine spinning and also damps some of the vibration that would be more noticable at slower speeds. I know I'm not the best writer but I hope this is understandable. BMC
