or ... "Docc is about 170 soaking wet" I'm not sure which quote wins the day

will check and get back

welcome Paul, and wife... to the forum and to the "raid". Hope you can make it, this time or next. You've landed in a piece of America that'll make you wonder if the Creator of the Earth had motorcycle riding in mind.

Yes, you have an early riders manual. I checked my stash of stuff and found this one.

to your original point.... the rider manual is not the best. I didn't get the correct one from new. Instructions can be vague or incomplete.

hmmm they Are different caps than earlier ones. Good catch

It's likely just the left cap was replaced or mistakenly used. Treat the left r as a c and see what happens.

Sì, sono bellissime e staranno benissimo sulla V11 Yes they are beautiful and will look great on the V11 Pubblica alcune foto della tua V11 quando puoi. Post some photos of your V11 when you can di che anno sono le marmitte Triumph? È una R? what year Triumph are the mufflers from? Is it an R?

So It'll cost me 100us to get a can with ship. I might be better off getting something mixed here. I look forward to seeing your results.

pure gold

sorry, to answer "So what are the big differences?" ... fairing, paint, handlebars.

All V11 from 2003 (past the '02 carryover bikes} to 2005 are the same base model. Differences are in 'packages'. Sport or LeMans, "specials" and limited editions. After that it's just color and accessories. IMO the Cafe Sport and Coppa Italia are the best equipped of the Sport line. The Rosso and Nero Corsa the top line LeMans. That being Ohlins equipped from the factory. Some models had other high end bits as standard. Mostly carbon fiber. I don't think any stock wheels were gold. These models listed command somewhat higher prices than base models. No performance differences. You have a beautiful bike. If you love it like it is, keep it like it is. For your consideration: the only thing I don't much care for on the standard Cafe Sport is the fixed sport fly screen. Wouldn't it be nice to have a fully faired Cafe Sport in stock color? maybe someone could photoshop one

did you try running your vin through here? http://static.piaggio.com/recall/form-piaggio_en.html It may answer the question. Otherwise my guess is still Cafe Sport, just because of the brown pork chops...

The Triumph 900 mufflers I used were too quiet so I drilld out the baffles with a hole saw. I silenziatori Triumph 900 che ho usato erano troppo silenziosi, quindi ho forato i deflettori con una sega a tazza. I found how that is done on this Triumph forum... Ho scoperto come si fa su questo forum Triumph ... https://www.triumphrat.net/

Possibly the hanger bracket is further back on the Triumph and is the inlet not at a slight angle? Forse la staffa del gancio è più indietro sulla Triumph e l'ingresso non è leggermente inclinato? I once used Thruxton 900 mufflers for a Yamaha. I had to cut off the angled inlet and weld it on straight. I then used the correct size inlet pipe and stainless steel weld rod. Una volta ho usato i silenziatori Thruxton 900 per una Yamaha. Ho dovuto tagliare l'ingresso angolato e saldarlo dritto. Ho quindi utilizzato il tubo di ingresso della dimensione corretta e il cordone di saldatura in acciaio inossidabile. I hope the internet translator works well enough. Spero che il traduttore di Internet funzioni abbastanza bene.

Benvenuto nel forum V11Transema I think the only issues would be the pipe joint diameters and hanger location. Penso che gli unici problemi sarebbero i diametri dei giunti dei tubi e la posizione del gancio. cc are similar so I don't think flow and back pressure is an issue. cc sono simili quindi non credo che il flusso e la contropressione siano un problema. the factory v11 mufflers are fairly restrictive. the Triumph ones should work fine. can you post a picture of one? i silenziatori di fabbrica v11 sono abbastanza restrittivi. quelli Triumph dovrebbero funzionare bene. puoi postare una foto di uno?

we'll get there

yes Phil, it was I believe KiwiRoy saying to include a dash lite somehow in the circuit. He changed his dash bulbs tho... can't recall

inline resistors are not stock. Someone used them to set up their led's to work proper. I'm (was) going through the same. My parts bike came with a working 4 led turn set up and worked fine. Breaking the bike apart I wasn't paying attention to how he did it. It did not work on the bike I transferred it to. Going back through the parts bike wiring, I found a wire spliced off one signal wire and "possibly" spliced to the tach back light. Can't be sure. I'm leaving it alone for now (season) and am using led rear and some nice small incandescent for front. With the right flasher it works fine.

That is how I learn

ooo where can we see that?

I'd love to see photos if/when you do the swap

I have the Condor version, two of them, and the Harbor Freight version bolted to the lift table. Invaluable for stationary work and for transport. This thing will vigorously hold a bike vertical without straps, though I do use 2 straps in the trailer. When I pulled my engine, the front tire rested in it, with 2 ratchet straps (in the rafters) lifting the rear.

I have a 15M.C3 labeled for a Cali S in my parts bin. It came to me installed on a great running '03 Rosso Corsa with Mistral crossover and MG Ti cans. The bike previously owned by a former forum member. So I have to assume it was re worked somehow..... Or interchangeable?
