take ya time. I'll pay extra attn to my shifts till it gets here. then I can rejoice in the difference. AND it'll be the strongest part on the bike.

Chuck, I sent an email to 59chuck at g mail dot com ---I FORGOT the dot after59!!!! I asked for 2. Do you have me down for 1 at least? I will shoot an email to the correct one now weird thing is, the wrong address went through??? so, I sent it without the dot and then without a capital C. you may have rec'd more than one. sorry It seemed easy:(

See the thread on shifter improvements. Got it. I'll take one Chuck

what's it extend? I've been outa town

I like what I'm reading about Penrite. I can't find it for sale in USA except one place in California with no website, and ebay... don't want to use ebay for this.

livin' the fantasy!

nice color, nice backdrop. make it bIGGer and one of the avatar please

Great! A Sprinter Topic! what'dya got and or recommend? They've been on my radar for a year. I'm thinking use for work - bike trips - and trips in general, with the bike of course. (RV) Where will you park/camp? I hope I get to see it.

well, I'm sold on their strawberry milkshake in my tranny. maybe that'll be a good intro into the crank case for me.

you synth guys are guilting me

20-50 dino. I use Harley Davidson, or Spectro -They make BMW's oil. not sure about the fancy stuff. Dude, did you get an owners manual with that bike?

I've often found myself thinking the very same thing docc. couldn't describe it better. I'm thinking that the hangy down bits at the rear that resembles two, too big ear lobes, is the culprit. I wouldn't give up the extra fuel residing there for looks though. I've wondered, does the 1100 Spoti tank fit? Is it nylon too?

I figured you did. Good idea. Great subject. comment start #23 here http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19518&page=2 Possibly redundant. this post will self destruct when read.. ?

Yeah, I have concerns. I own 2 '02 LM's. One has no sign of stretch or bubble. The Tenni is showing some stretch. It is tight on the rear mount bolt hole. I removed it last year for winter maintenance, emptied and set aside. It was off about 4 mos. It was not as bad at fitment as it was when I took it off. This reinforces the theory I've read about the tank "recovering" when it sits without gas for a while. There is some slight problem with the paint, but not fuel related, I don't believe. No bubble or separation. My 'option' is as I've stated in another post, is an aluminum replacement. I don't think it's completely necessary, but it would alleviate any future problems, and would look killer on the Tenni. Buffed, not polished or painted, would also be in keeping with the intent of the Tenni tribute theme and color. There is a man here in Indianapolis that can do the job. I know him and he's done bodywork for myself and several other enthusiasts. He is very talented. I just have to catch him at the right moment, as he's always busy with 2 or 3 projects. As one would imagine with someone possessing those skills. He's seen it and said it would be the type he would enjoy duplicating. Just gotta make it happen. It seems the Tank Shop in Scotland is being less than enthusiastic to some members here. I personally have not contacted him. The price (now?), the distance, and the wait, sorta put me off. He does make some beautiful pieces. The Ducati Peeps must have some contacts for them because Acerbis made many of their tanks as well. I have a friend with a Sport 1000 Duc and he had one made somewhere in Europe. I didn't bother to ask him where he got it because it cost him 2200. I don't want one that bad.

Ha, I have a mower I bought in 1989. I haven't even unscrewed the cap to check the oil. Shameful. Briggs & Stratton 5HP

should you decide to, I'd like to follow the process:) did you add to the LM or was it already on it?

so your recommendation is any hose clamp that fits? thanks

p.s. anyone have a spec and source for that hose clamp? Roy says metric. JBBenson?

Not what you want to find Craig. My condolences. Now on with the fantasy!

crossed up my response short circuit maybe SP838 "I love that bike! Definitely keep on him." Yup, he's just across town. It's been a couple months, so I just sent him and email. A very nice email.

Is that who made the tank for "Ponti?" I think I read that this guy made his tank... http://www.thetankshop.com/

I know a man that build's tanks. He is very good. I had him interested this spring to make me one. He got busy with other tanks and backed out. (he works metal part time) I will stay on him and eventually...... this one is his work

Regarding the brake pedal hitting the exhaust... like doccs answer (he said it better than I did) the post I made earlier was an attempt to help you correct that problem. this post .. If she took a hard hit on the muffler, the muffler bracket (plate) or the hanger may be bent. The whole exhaust system may have been pushed to the left side a bit. (this can cause the exhaust to hit the brake pedal) You can loosen all the exhaust bolts and clamps and coax everything back. The right side muffler, in it's standard position, will look like it is further out than the left one. It was built this way. So don't let that mess with your head. Does it have the emission canister still on? It's the stupid looking thing attached to the bracket that the exhaust crossover is hanging from. With hoses coming out. Right in the center, in front of the rear tire. That hanger bracket could be bent too. This is all easy stuff.

I get the sinking feeling it's in Italy

do it docc.... do it! (couldn't find one eating popcorn)
