That is TOO easy........

Wow............................

i will take the shifter off , take some pics, show dimensions, etc...... I got a l.h. rod end & rod from www.midwestcontrol.com . I will try & find part #s for that stuff.

M/Gs are not made for men...... but (certain) men are made for M/Gs.....

I hope this works for ya! I can send you some pics n parts list for making your shifter a shorter throw & have it adjustable.

First of all, my condolences............ You are jump starting the bike with another battery. If so, have the other vehicle off so the alternator will not be influencing your bike. Turn the key on to make sure charge light is on. Then start the bike to see if the light goes out. Then connect a DVOM to the battery and use the fast idle to run it about 1500 rpm. It should show at least 14v charge rate. If all this is good and the bike will run with this battery connected, you just need to get a battery and Battery Tender for winter charging.

What was the original rake in degrees?

Very good !

What's wrong with the clutch ?

Good deal

You can bypass (for test purposes) the sidestand switch to see if it is at fault. Keep in mind, all these bikes/wiring diagrams are not identical.

This plate (along with putting a hose clamp on the oil filter) is the most important product you will ever install on your bike.

The only advantage I can tell is the Ohlins suspension and mirrors that show you what is behind you instead of your elbows. The Sport is better looking as it is a naked bike and the fuel tank's beauty is shown on this style of bike.

Use a GOOD test light............. It is better than a DVOM. You need it only when you need exact information... p.s. I will get my glasses n look at my wiring diagram....

I have an 03 Sport. The N (neutral) light has to be on or your fuel pump will not energize. Check to see that this light is on.

Well, Dame Edna pees standing up................

Alright

Where is the shop located? I see it expired with a high bid of $6500 with not meeting the reserve.

Can you make the $ a LOT larger?

In a climate controlled environment, the bike should be o.k. What fuel was / is in the bike is another story.............

I have the Alpina wheels on my bike........ There are companies that make the solid spoke wheels for the Guzzis also. They are all produced in small volume so they are going to be higher than for Jap crotch rockets. As far as buying Chinese, you are on your own !

What brand of gear lube & service intervals were you running on this ? What kind of symptoms were you having?

Swapping springs will see if the problem follows the shorter spring....

A good paint supplier has a device that can match the color as it is..... There are other factors such as fading, weathering & sun bleaching that comes into play..........

Uhhhhhhh, it's very likely. How hard would it be to swap places with the springs to see what happens?
