Thanks for the info.......I'll be considering the N-R tank bag!!

That bike was the stimulus to purchase My Le Mans. A friend of mine has dealt with that dealer quite a bit and had sent me the link for that bike. I called the dealer and found out that someone had bought it sight unseen out of Colorado.....I'd been planning on riding up to check it out if it was still on the market!!! Oh well...........snooze you lose!! On that bike the exhaust exit is on the right side as viewed in the picture. Now that I'm doing research on getting a Quat_D exhaust for My Le Mans( to duplicate the look of that black Scura) I'm finding out that they/Quat_D has changed the exhaust exit to the left side of the exhaust!!??? I'm not at all understanding what that's about and it would sure be a NEAT looking system if there were exhaust outlets on BOTH sides of the exhaust box. Here are couple pictures of the latest Quat_D offering.... thanks to a helpful party at MotoWheels; Does anyone reading this have any connection with the Quat_D company?? It sure would be nice to have a bit more understanding of why the change from right to left and why they don't do an exit on BOTH sides!!???

Pretty flusterating trying to find out anything about Quat_D exhaust availability on the Rossopuro website being as it's all in Italian. Is there not anyone in the USA that imports them in??? Thanks for the link on the exhaust info........I'll go check that out. I'd really like to have the centralized exhaust under the bike vs. the cans hanging out on the sides where they can get easily damaged. I also like the way the exhaust exits the Ghezzi-Brian.com system with the schalloped cut instead of the protruding turn-out. I'm presuming that Ghezzi-Brian performed that mod on the base Quat_D........anyone have contact with the Ghezzi-Brian or Quat_D folks?? Any links, pictures or specifications of the factory tank so I can get a better understanding of My options??

Thanks!! Soo the clutch design varied from a single plate to a dual plate clutch on various Guzzi models?? Maybe there is a thread about that out there..........guess I'll have to do some more searching!!

Thanks for your welcome and information filled response!! I will check out the FBF website and see what all they have!! Regarding the NR CL450 tank bag, what does hold it on......is there a mechanical interface, magnets or ??? I'm not quite understanding the " pinch clip to undo it, slide bag to right, fill tank, slide back and re clip" relative to how it actually mounts onto the tank!??? ***edit*** I went out and researched the CL450......now I understand that it's a strap mount system. When your doing the "pinch clip to undo" are you referencing the rear mounting strap?? When you "slide the bag to the right" what keeps it from actually rubbing/scuffing on the tank?? I do like the teardrop shape!!

I'm a newbie but sure do appreciate the wealth of info I've been able to source on this website, 20 Euro donation made!!!

I'm interested in learning what's currently available in aftermarket exhaust options for My V11 Le Mans. The Quat_D captures My attention however I'd like to hear what other currently available options there are that can be sourced in the USA. I've spent many hours scouring various forums and calling places that were mentioned years ago as being import sources for the Quat_D to no avail. If someone has a Quat_D that they are not using and might be interested in selling I'd be interested in hearing about the details, please PM info. Did they ever make them with outlets on both sides!??? Does anyone know if the Gheezi-Brian.com cnetralized V11 Exhaust system was anything that ever made it's way to the USA!?? PS.........what is the preferred tank bag (best fit/easiest removal for gas fill) amoungst V11 Le Mans owners as I do want to get one ASAP!!

Please inform/provide links relating to the clutch replacement/time-bomb issue. Thanks!! I just want to be informed regarding potential issues with My 2002 V11 Le Mans.

What a fine example of design, engineering and production to create a product that deals with the ergo issues!! I have enjoyed reading this thread and was wondering what the current availability of the forward foot position kit might be??
