I wouldn't dream of doing anything of that nature over there. You guys carry guns!!! Ciao

Interesting. In 50 years of riding I've never actually used a motorcycle horn. Ciao

This is what the usual style of elephant foot adjuster looks like. The ball end type Chuck showed off wildguzzi I've not seen before although they would offer the same benefit. Ciao

I still dont see why you cant take a twin plate hub to a machine shop and surface grind the engine side down to the same friction plate spline width as the 6 speed. Ciao

The later bikes had the well known oversize selector arm pivot boss which caused spring failure on a regular basis. Replace or machine/file this down and a new Chuck Spring which I can send you if no one in the states has one and you're good. Ciao

Looks in great shape for that mileage. Ciao

Looks clean, rare to see original relays and an unmolested relay base and wiring. How many miles? Ciao

You say that like its a bad thing And yes I at least accept your apology for your lack of previous clarity and loose interpretation of figures.I can't comment for the others. Ciao

I love how this internet stuff works. People throw out there some second hand, unsubstantiated, fuzzy grey claim as fact and when they're called out on it and asked to justify/verify this info they start back pedaling, clarifying, and accusing the ones asking for the facts as involving them in an internet pissing competition. The joys of trying to wade your way through off the cuff dross masquerading as fact and getting to some genuine information that might be of actual use now or in the future. Ciao

My moneys on NOT, by some margin as well. Ciao

This unit will fit your bike with the exception of the gearbox input hub which should still be useable on your bike. So you will end up with a spare part to suit a 5 speed bike. http://www.mgcycle.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193&products_id=1698 Or you can spend 4 times the money with TLM. I know which I'd choose. Ciao

Yes I used the Benz one on the Daytona throttle bodies and it worked fine. Ciao

I wouldn't buy anything from TLM due to the frankly outrageous prices they charge. You can buy a complete new clutch assembly including flywheel for your bike from MG Cycles for around 6-700 euros. I also agree you check the clutch lever freeplay screw isn't restricting the master cylinder piston from returning to the fully out position which may cause the clutch to slip. Ciao

I have one of these. http://www.dynaplug.com/pro.html Ciao

That's because it is. Carb conversions are generally done by two types, first group, the strip it down to the bare bones and bugger the common sense real world day to day useable bike and the second group that's incapable for one reason or another of getting their head around even the basics of a std EFI system. The bonus is of course you get to spend around $700US to do the carb conversion when its all said and done to save a reputed 25LBS. Dont quite know where that figure comes from but there you go. Ciao

You probably had some air in the system before you replaced the levers so it was a little spongy which would give you an engagement point closer to the bar. Now with the system bled the engagement point is further out because the system has less sponge in it. Dont your new levers have adjustable reach? BTW the best method for bleeding by light years is with a pressure bleeder. You can buy one in the states for $60. Thats what I did. Vacuum bleeding is pretty rubbish and there is always the risk that when manual bleeding you push the master piston a lot deeper in the cylinder than normal and risk seal damage from the seal passing over an area it doesn't normally see. Pressure bleeding avoids this and makes fluid flushing really easy. Ciao

I cant honestly cant remember where my images came from. Ciao

Are these of any use? Larger version in my album. Ciao

Best and cheapest way to go I think is wheel hubs off a Cali and re lace with 17 inch modern tubeless alloy rims. There are wheels available from Ghezzi Brian and others but they are expensive. Personally I dont think wire wheels suit the style of a V11. Ciao

No, still working on it, I'm getting more patient as I get older. I'm visiting my friend in a month for a social visit and to get the welding done. He lives a thousand miles away these days so a visit and a few days catching up will be nice. I know whats going to happen when I pull the engine, I'll want to repaint the frame and pork chops as well. One thing turns into another. Probably end up a full resto. More patient but less sensable Ciao

Do the horn or any of the lights work with the ignition off chuck? Ciao

Now he tells us. Pilots, same everywhere:) Sounds like high resistance in the switch to me. Where's Kiwi Roy when you need him. Ciao
