Dear all, after 20 years am still owning and riding a 2004 Moto Guzzi V11 Sport Ballabio. All running great. Just wondering if the cables and brake hydraulic pipes etc would be long enough to install some 20 mm 'risers' between the bars and triple clamp? Was considering these, even if they are a bit pricey compared to some standard stock models: https://voigt-mt.de/Lenkererhoehung-Riser-20mm-fuer-Lenker-mit-O-28mm-mit-ABE thanks for any help/advice! Cheers, Jonathan

Thanks for all the excellent advice. Quite relieved to find out there is so much expertise and help still out there for the venerable V11. Getting a RE Himalayan 450 to complement the V11 but it will still be my daily ride and Black Forest tourer. Mine look exactly like the red one's, but I think my leads are integrated into the caps which might have to be cut off? could be just the accumulation of dirt etc after 20 years of the MG living outside on the street.

Dear V11'ers. Long time no posting, but still riding my beloved V11 Sport Ballabio here near the Black Forest in SW Germany. I changed the plugs and the left cylinder HT lead cap fits on the little screw on spark plug nipple, but the right lead only fitted if the small nipple was unscrewed from teh new plug - directly onto the threaded plug end. The right lead is now too loose for safety. I guess the leads should be replaced as a pair? anyone know a part no or recommended brand? what is the connector on the other end? Is this an easy job if I lift the fuel tank or best left to the dealer? thanks for any help/advice; keep the rubber side down.

hi. very late response from Germany: what is the max size of the V11 Sport battery, 2) what model is the motobatt that is compatible with the v11 3) what alternatives are available to the Yuasa and Odyssey? thanks. Jonathan
