man, that took too many tries get right.

about 4 lb dressed

whooa 150? That's moving it on the banks.

......and those bikes use electrical fuel pumps? And Chuck wants to know how much the henway.

henway.. I dunno, maybe 4 pounds?

PA- I think it's the same generic pump that all the auto stores sell. I don't know why MGC is selling them $20 less than anyone else. Perhaps it's a typo or overstock? Most of these pumps I've seen cost about $75 at the local auto parts store, the trick is to find the cross reference from Guzzi to generic. BTW- the "Guzzi" pump lists for $350. If you look at the part numbers, they go on everything from Ducatis to Jaguars. I think my local mechanic says he found it listed for 1961 Peerless. I have no idea what a Peerless even is. Car? Truck? Train? Aircraft? Cruise missile?

Give me a buzz when you get to OKC. I would avoid the worst of summer (the last two weeks of July - first two weeks of August). There are more days to ride in January than during those four weeks I usually head to Colorado then.

I got about 30k out of mine.

'68 Charger. Is it a 383? Torque Flight?

I ran a 100 wt H4 for many years on my Bandit, It got so hot that it put a brown spot in the lens. I was afraid to put 100 watt on my Guzzis, worried about stress on the alternator, wiring and connectors. Now I am running cool running, low draw LEDs on all of them.

GILL- order from Pyro Dan, He's inexpensive and has good quality. You can get the whole mess for $20 or so. About 1/3 the cost of auto parts store. Then keep an old one for a spare, along with your traveling patch kit and fuses.. http://www.dpguzzi.com

sounds like grabby brakes. I wonder if less aggressive pads would've helped? Now I know why they have ABS. My Sport has is a little too aggressive on the rear. Sometimes I have to be careful.

KTM built a Touring version called the 990 SM T I saw one at the Paonia rally last year and it seems like a pretty nice machine.

I use the EBC HH pads too.

ok

So if this is a 90 degree Vtwin longitudinal crank, why isn't it predecessor to the original V7?

Rolf sounds like a great guy. A transmission swap out would be quick and less risky. For example, when my transmission cracked, the housing was put in a powder coating oven for a week before is was welded. So far it's held together. The only thing I might add, since your bike is an '01 model, I am guessing it has the same frame as the redframe? If so, I would definitely install the transmission brace to keep it from cracking again. The mechanic that fixed my bike has fabricated a few kits with the bracket and fastener and has sold several. This attaches the bellhousing to the frame. The later model bikes have an upgraded frame that doesn't need the bracket. I am not sure about the Mandello model. If you need the brace, here is the website. http://www.motivcycleworks.com

more voodoo

Consider it done! many times I bet?

yeah, I doubt if the old aircooled Thruxton would have the beans to run a V11. But my friend Darren can certainly keep up with his on the road. OTOH, I would guess that the new watercooled Thruxton would probably reverse the tables.

Docc. You have to do the voodoo dance and rattle the box of springs like bones. And then rub your hands in used motor oil.

I did see a thread on WG where a fellow soldered the coil pack back together. It was the thread I used to learn how to get the bezel off (hose clamp). Luckily mine was only the counterweight.

Saweet. Thank you. Alas, cable operated gauges only. really? he wouldn't work on it?
