So, I'm assuming you fixed the seal? Was it a bad bearing?

Ok, back in the day, some suspender snapping pipe chewing Guzzi Guy gave them a rash of sh!t about (probably) his inability to tune a Guzzi with it. That is when that disclaimer came out. Same deal with Bub exhaust. Pogo was right.

Needs knobbies.

Uh huh.. uh huh. You'll look kool on that..

I'm clueless (my normal condition) about it..

It doesn't have anything to do with fueling. I imagine Cliff knows what he is talking about..

Yours are new tech. The old ones were "cutting edge" 25 years ago, and absolutely ate batteries. My Federals were one of those. I had a job running glass filled Delrin that absolutely ate up the rack and pinion of indicator calipers, so I bought in to the new digitals at that time. If you got a month out of a set of fairly expensive batteries, you were good. I didn't mind at the time, it was part of the cost of doing business.

I'll bet you get a great view of your knees instead of your elbows.

That's a *nice* stable, Tom..

Yeah, battery powered digital calipers suck. I dumpstered my Federals.. gimme an indicator caliper every time. Come to think of it, about all of my tools are antiques. How could they be? I bought most of them new..

That old one in the back's jugs are sagging..

It's the best place in the world to be if you are wrenching on a V11S..

How long before one of these bad boys takes your picture and automatically sends you a ticket? See the size of the muffler on that 660cc single? Stock? WTF??

I see the roach clip..

I have some big hunker channel locks. With them, you can get enough leverage to re install them. Barely. All the above help, too. Lacking the big hunker channel locks, some orthodontia may help..

It's what Pete would call "a right front bottom of a job."

(Loud and Proud) I have bar ends on two bikes. Don't really care who likes or doesn't like em. I'm paying the bills.. Seriously, I had Lane Splitters on the Mighty Scura in SoCal for obvious reasons. When I brought it back to the midwest, I put Napoleons on it to better see whether that car behind me was a cop or not. Put the Lane splitters on the AeroLario. Works good. Lasts long time.

Wow, Hammershaug.. you have had your share of heartache. (!) Take care of yourself, now, and keep going forward.. I feel for you.

Well, I'll have to admit it's the best one of those I've ever seen. Nice piece of work, Foto.. Dorcia called it a shovelasaurus..

That's why the Goddess made Craftsman and Harbor Freight..

We'll have to agree to disagree on the bar end mirror thing, too, Phil.

Guys that complain about service accessibility on Guzzis have never worked on airplanes. Hey, Footgoose, are you coming to Kip's Sunday?

From fading and unreliable memory.. yes, that is true. Front up and rears down. Shirley someone that *knows* will be along shortly. Welcome to the V11S forum.

That's a beautiful bike, Tom..
