  1. jus' depends............ even the time of day.
  2. That's right. The LED that replace the entire lens and bulb.
  3. Oh? meaning, I don't know of a single reason.
  4. The tail lights fine. (knock wood) But now I lost that damn odo stem on Veglia.
  5. I think the wrong bulb might've been key here. Thanks for the info Docc. I couldn't find the reference.
  6. Dime City has the 7in headlight and bucket for $85. But it is 5 1/2in deep. This seems similar to my Sport, is the LeMans that different? https://www.dimecitycycles.com/7-inch-complete-headlight-assembly-chrome.html
  7. my Greenie has 75 rear wheel HP They are Clydesdales, not Shetlands.
  8. just a follow on to an old subject.
  9. OK, I the 1057 1157 bulb seems to work fine. The 2057 didn't seat. Not sure which one is OEM spec.
  10. I think there might be another reason why a Griso 11 would run as good or better than a V11 Sport.
  11. Badge, she's purdy. Are you going to the Paonia Rally with it?
  12. So if I got this straight, the new engine has lighter and stronger reciprocal components (pistons, rods & crank), better head flow (and titanium valves), improved induction (fuel management) and cooling and less internal friction and pumping losses (due to dry sump). Now it's rated at 80 hp, not 85. At the crank. Really, it does look like it's going to be a pretty nice bike. But some of us are turned off by all the hype and the attendant delays and usual disappointment. We've been here before
  13. detonation means it's running lean or too much timing. Can't be good unless you throttle past it.
  14. I find that having some adventure on a trip, some rain, snow, hail, food poisoning, etc., makes the best parts of the trip ahhhh.... so memorable.
  15. ouch !
  16. I fitted an 1157 in it. Seems to make better contact. I was tempted to play with the contacts but was afraid of breaking them.
  17. I'm 5'10" with a 30 in inseam and have no trouble. Of course, I could lose a few (dozen) pounds.
  18. I might try an 1157 and see if it is a better fit.
  19. the 2057 is the correct bulb?
  20. I just replaced the VR on the Greenie recently. I was talking to an old hand Guzzi guy and he said those Ducati VRs were good for about 20k miles. I told him my Sport just rolled over 45k and my EV has 65k on them. He said that he'd bet they both were replaced before I bought them. Anyway, I guess I'll prepare for the EV to fail next.
  21. My tail light bulb doesn't seat well. I had to fiddle with it and it mostly didn't work. I doubt I'll get a mile down the road with it. The Brake light seems to work most of the time. I'll screw with it tomorrow but any hints would be appreciated.
  22. I am surprised to hear that. when I saw this on WG I assumed you were talking about a California.
  23. I am here with my V11............it just turned over 45k miles today. Perhaps a little more since the Veglia was a little glitchy before it was fixed.
  24. well, a Scura has all the mechanicals and electricals of my Sport, expect for the exploding clutch and finicky suspension that needs expensive maintenance every few thou$and miles. And of course, the Scura also needs to be painted since it only came in primer from the factory but there's nothing can be done about the ugly nose. .. .. The Greenie is still the prettiest, best sounding bike on the road, handles great too. Unfortunately, it is, however, horsepower challenged.
