You need to look at a v11 with different wheels and get the owner's opinion. I am running Alpina wheels on mine and LOVE them. These were purchased used and I got a good deal on them. They are available with different color schemes. The wheels that are on Dan Ms bike look VERY good. The Durrani wheels are made in Michigan , look good and VERY well priced. These wheels will transform the bike more than you can imagine. The down side is that you will want to toss the factory brake rotors for some new looks.

GATES has the same product that works on heater hoses requiring bends. FWIW, heater hose is NOT compatible with petroleum prodocts.You should go to a hydraulic hose vendor or an established (not AZ,PB,O'R,etc.) auto parts vendor to find what is needed. There is usually a valve inside the breather needed to be replaced with the new hose.

ALWAYS inspect the filter mounting surface for leftover anything. Use a hose clamp, it is much cheaper than an engine.

Hot tip for all European bike riders: park on a hill.

Bodypainting is SOOOOOOO HOT !!! I hope it doesn't contain lead.

differences in interpretations of words? Or a lack of interest in hearing what the other person is actually saying.

Huh? If you are attempting to remove the lever only, remove the nut underneath the pivot bolt. Push the pivot bolt up and out of the perch (while you watch for a ball and spring fall to the floor when you do the next step) and remove the lever. Reassemble everything and lightly grease everything you do not want to rust.

It's D-Day ! Let us know how it turns out.

Why did the rear wheel bearings in your exhaust go out so soon?

Is this your baby doll? Marvic Puma did you say?Where did you get them and $?

Remember, you are buying this bike for what it almost is. It is up to you to finish the product.

Contact Guzzi-Tech or MPH cycles for a CD .

Go back to the dealer and have a conversation with him. Let him know you are concerned as a customer and a friend about what you found. Tell him you want him to know that you would not like to turn work out like this and he shouldn't either. Hopefully he will bring this to the mechanic's attention to turn out GREAT work. I treat everything I work on as it were my kid's personal aircraft. There is no room for error here.

I Googled Tellico, it looks like a nice place to hang around a week or so.
