Try TLM in Holland.

here are some clip ons for sale: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=409706384

I bought a new one, from the dealer, when mine failed. Was not overly expensive, something like 220 cdn.
-
Thanks for the technical advice, gentlemen.
-
Could you please elaborate on the procedure? Mine is weeping in exactly the same manner @ 23000 km's.

The USA is the place to buy. Shipping is not overly expensive. The American bikes are usually lower mileage, nicely taken care of. Troubled economy, rabid consumerism, a distain for European products, devalued currency, etc.

I always use Motul 5100, in the V11. SG rated.
-
The Penske is worth every cent. (8983 model on my V11) I believe that GuzziTech is a supplier. They may have a better price than Penske direct. Here is a direct e-mail address I used for great service from Penske: mikehimmelsbach@penskeshocks.com

Can you tell me where you bought it? Thanks Mike Penske was great to deal with. The shock is a thing of beauty. http://www.penskeshocks.com/Motorcycle.php direct contact: mikehimmelsbach@penskeshocks.com

You are lucky to have noticed. Mine broke in half, at speed. The first one leaked oil, the second one broke in half. No Sachs Boge for me, ever again. My Penske shock is fantastic.
-
I would go with the MPH, a nice product that retains the clip ons
-
The easy way is to remove the caliper, turn it such that the bleeder is pointing upwards. This is the only way i can get my V11 to bleed properly.

Scary bike crash on the news
yamalama replied to tmcafe's topic in Special place for banter and conversation
The guy should have been aware of what was happening. Rapid braking with a car on his ass. He could have darted around the car that was in front. -
I'm still around

You really should have bought another Guzzi. Just sayin' -
What is the year of production for this particular bike?
-
The Ohlins rear shock is still available through Moto Guzzi. I am using the Penske shock. Works fantastic, with great personalized service from Penske.
-
Yes. It was certainly exciting when my (replacement-for-the-leaking) shock broke, having just negotiated a 100 mph S curve. The Penske replacement shock is fantastic. Worth every cent.
-
Sell the engine with everything intact. The bits and pieces, if you sell them all separately, you will be waiting a while to get rid of everything. What is the story on the custom seat? If it is in one piece, i may be interested.

My '03 does not have a lower one, either. The cable housing makes a tight bend before entering the lower drive. My cable had problems with this bend. Cable broke at 7100 mile mark, The odometer gave up at the same time, for whatever reason.

I bought the Penske. Looks like a nicely put together unit. The unit is slightly longer(adjusted short as possible). Barely fit. Rear ride height is increased, probably about an inch. Spring height adjustment requires that one remove the tank, side covers, and air box. Fourth shock removal,in 7000 miles. Getting good at it!
