Sold.

Ttt

Rear wheel stand for V11. Handle detaches for shipping. Box size would be about: 10 h x 24 w x 24 l and 16 lbs. Shipped from zip 95409. $50 obo plus shipping or pickup in SF Bay Area. Best to shoot me an email direct (aburkin10@gmail.com) as I'm not active here; sold my bike a while back.

Turns out that the number was left off. Luigi must have gone home early that day. But I called Piaggio and they gave me the serial number based on my VIN.

Nothing there unless it's so faint I can't see it.

I have the location of the frame or Vin. No. But where does MG locate the engine number? My bike is a 2002 Scura.

My research online has convinced me that unbolting the sump and cleaning the screen is a waste of time, unless you have a high mileage bike or just like tinkering. And even tho I had four oil-filter wrenches in my toolbox, I needed to add a fifth to my collection to fit the oddball Guzzi filter size. (adjustable filter wrench would not fit up into the sump.) Still, I recommend that strategy.

Sorry, Not selling the clip ons. I may change it back to stock someday.

I swapped my clip-ons for upright bars on my 2002 Scura and was wondering whether the Ohlins front forks could be repositioned lower in the triple trees in order to effectively raise the bar height some more. Has anyone experimented with this?

Hmm... something flush might help the lines of the tank. One would have to shape it in two planes to look good. I have considered fabricating a holder for a GPS or smartphone. Could be useful albeit kinda geeky. Or maybe a custom a leather pouch for small stuff. Too Harley-like? Still thinking this one through.

Ha, love the solution, fotoguzzi! I have considered wrapping the pad in brown leather, and doing my seat in the same material. Might tie it all together. But my first choice is to try another tank. If anyone in the USA has a tank they'd like to sell, do send me a PM. Thanks to all for the advice. This is my first MG and I've got a lot to learn.

I've got the external fuel pump. That's good news. I'll look for a later model tank. Any idea at what point the frame geometry changed?

Has anyone come up with a way to do away with the chin pad? I'm not a big fan of it, even the carbon fiber version that came on my Scura. Seems to me that it ruins the lines of what is otherwise a very nicely shaped tank. For example, have you crafted a small pouch to fit the void? Or filled the depression, creating a clean-looking tank?( From the shape of the depression and how the fuel filler stands proud, I'm not sure if you could actually get clean, fair lines. ) Last, have you swapped out the tank with another one, other than the pricey aluminum tank option. if so, what will fit with little or no modification?

Added a few mods over the winter. Custom fabricated head guards, muffler hangers. Also added new exhaust and bar end mirrors.

Need the foot-operated rear brake lever for a V11. Stock or aftermarket. PM me.

I am looking for an alloy tank or a stock tank (but one without the carbon fiber pad) to fit a 2002 V11 Scura (same frame as a LeMans or Sport from the single shock era).

Welcome! Post a photo of your ride. My Scura is the first MG I've owned, and I gotta say, I love this bike. Much more of a comfortable ride than the Ducati I previously owned, and it has plenty of go for my level of riding. And it is definitely unique. Not many around.

Looking for a pair of Mistral mufflers, aluminum with carbon caps to fit an V11.

No, not an eBay find. From a forum member. And I noticed the list has been updated. (Oxford USA.) Nice catch - was that the bike I saw on Ebay recently? By the way, the 'master list' has #544 as residing in England...maybe he means New England! Ran across this little tidbit using Google - apparently Scura is a family name complete with crest:

Looking for a pair of Fast by Ferracci carbon cans to fit a 2002 V11 Scura. Prefer high mount.

The BMWs were/are not the servo assist type. While I guess the ABS does give me some back-of-mind comfort when riding in heavy rain, I've been riding bikes for so long without ABS that I never rely on them. I learn the limits of each bike's handling and braking characteristics under various conditions until I feel comfortable pushing them to a reasonable limit on the street. In fact, ABS kicking in still startles me more than when I occasionally lock up a wheel on a non-ABS bike. And the expense of fixing an ABS system gone bonkers might just make me swear off them. But so far, knock on wood, no problems. After a week of riding the Scura, it is becoming more "normal". It has been cold here ... but on a more balmy day recently, after getting the bike, tires and brakes up to operating temps, performance was better than on the colder days. And what a strange feeling to hop on the GSA after several rides on the Scura! The BMW felt like a kite on wheels with a big ol' tiller for a handlebar.
