  1. Both. I have Road Attacks on the Mighty Scura, Classic Attacks on the Monza, and Sport Attacks on the MZed out in SoCal. No idea on how long the Sport Attacks will last.. don't care really.. but they are the best tires I've ever used in the twisties. The Kid has Classic Attacks on his 1100 Spot, and after a rainy day in the Carolinas said, "These are the bestest tires I've ever had." Uhh, I'm a fan.
  2. "Get a horse.."
  3. I really have a hard time imagining a properly torqued axle nut coming loose. It's not "subject to rotation" the FAAs verbiage for more heroic measures such as safety wire or cotter pinning.
  4. Oh, boy.. a tire thread. Conti Attacks.
  5. They were only defending their way of life.. 2016-07-02_10-32-07 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr
  6. So.. Mine's bigger than yours isn't just a 'Merican phenomenon? :0
  7. No solvent is a good thing..
  8. South east Ohio is ok.. Hello. Earth calling. You are missing some of the best roads in the US in Wyoming. Think about Cody. Chief Joseph highway..Beartooth pass. (!!) Going to the Sun if you have time. Many places to see and roads to ride in that general area. Yellowstone park. South out of there to Jackson (tourist trap) but west out of Jackson over the pass is awesome, too. Don't miss Beartooth. Trust me.
  9. ^^^^ Orthodontia..
  10. True. As we all know, Guzzi is all about lightness..
  11. Hmm, Motomachines is the importer for HB, and they don't show that.. I'm certainly not familiar with it.
  12. That would be the way to do it, IMHO..
  13. plus 2K to remedy the single plate clutch.. getting pretty expensive.
  14. Rows of seating, normally around a sporting event. Each row is successively higher.
  15. I'm sure that 51 had nyloc nuts. A close friend was just narrowly missed by the debris, btw. Nyloc nuts "can" be reused, but the number of times is up in the air so to speak. It's up to the mechanic that puts it on. Back in the day, fiber lock nuts were one use only.
  16. I've always liked the NEP, too. Used it on several bikes.
  17. I just went for a putt on the Monza yesterday. It had been sitting since January since I charged and conditioned it with the Odyssey charger. It was going down rapidly last fall.. Started right up. The Lario is on the schedule today. I fully expect it to be fine, too. Yes, this thread has been worth it for me. 4 batteries that act like they are new. Priceless. Well, $400..
  18. Here is the million plus spring. I edited the picture to make the wear a *little* more noticeable. You can see a very light shiny area where the straight arm wears on the coil, and the area yours is worn. 2018-04-12_09-50-13 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr Edit: If you click on the image, it will take you to Flickr, then clicking on it again will blow it up.
  19. DeCaliforniaized a bunch of rusty/corroded fasteners on the Mighty Scura with a kit from Stainless cycle. Looks a nice...
  20. I don't particularly like it either, but it works.
  21. I'm just looking for why yours failed like that. There should be more than plenty of space for the stock spring in there. Is the long arm tweeked? Something must be causing the spring to sit at an angle on the shaft. (?)
  22. What Marty sez. There are also "seal savers" I think they are called that can be installed, if there is one manufactured for that size. Very thin..
  23. There "should" be plenty of room for the 3 coil spring, unless something is not right. From memory that distance was .240". The new 3 coil spring is .071"x 3= .213". I posted a picture of one installed many pages back. Edit: Ah, here it is on page 9
  24. Wow! That's crazy.. I'm not familiar with galassetti.
  25. Welcome to the V11 forum. If I understand you correctly, someone wants to buy the original mufflers that are still installed on your bike? I'm guessing that you are not in the US? In that case, I don't have a clue what they are worth where you are. I have a set of new ones in storage that I would ask $100 US for, but wouldn't expect to get. If someone *needed* them and couldn't afford to pay for them, I would give them away.
