  1. To quote the learned philosopher Marilyn Manson, "I don't have enough middle fingers" for those who would appoint themselves Internet Overlord and arbiter of truth.
  2. #me too btw, has anyone used the paypal alternative in forum "donate"? just takes a card number?
  3. will V11 LeMans mirrors work? emgo makes replacements, but they likely made your cbr mirrors so.....
  4. oooo nice! i like the Mivvs too. wish i had a set
  5. it would seem the injectors are the culprit. I don't know how to test them. I take it the plugs are dry after some cranking?
  6. welcome milo. how did you test pressure? disconnect fuel line and watch it squirt? replace the fuel filter if you have not yet done so. others will chime in on injectors.
  7. replacing it is a win win. Even if that isn't the leak source, the original tube will fail so, good to rule it out.
  8. I've had similar issues on two V11. Both were the crankcase ventilation tube. The pasta they are made of doesn't like oil and heat so they disintegrate. The leak can start at the top clamp and run down and drip on various cables and such and can appear to come from 'wherever". The most common spot to fall apart is at the lower hose clamp and then drips down the sides to wherever it wants to go.
  9. this was from a parts bike I had. Hand made. This is stainless so not an easy shop fab, but maybe useful for you to come up with something if you don't find anything. it's made from flat stock and bent. I made a template for future needs. This lighting is ebay. You can make flat portions larger for different lights. the lower bit is just thin aluminum cut to cover the exposed wiring and such under the tail. It all bolts to the existing subframe wiith no mods. Click the pics to enlarge. Hosted on https://imgzeit.com/
  10. my Agostini. One manufacturer I'll bet, for two brand names.
  11. old pics from mgcycle - mistral http://www.mgcycle.com/images/atrex/mg1005_02.jpg
  12. the pics don't load but I recall (if you are referring to your new bike) they looked like docc's cans. They be either Mistral or Agostini imo. If they had oval stickers it would likely be Mistral.
  13. I'm with docc on this. Get the rear wheel up and your eyes in close. If the shift lever touches the pork chop at any point it's enough to cause the problem.
  14. I wonder if a couple of slightly longer allens would give better purchase, if there's room of course.
  15. I feel a disturbance in the Force...
  16. new bike-adventure, fire, steak, the heartland. what could be better.
  17. Truly a great site. Browse it often. RIP Mr. Daley
