  1. "full on refurb" specifics on that procedure would be interesting indeed where'd you get the brace? I need one which way did you go with image posting? they look great
  2. thanks for the follow up report
  3. Interesting. Is Valeo the mfg of starter that comes standard on our bikes?
  4. Could be replaced gauges. And with the '02 carryover bikes there was likely varying parts bin mix n match. Could be Staintune polished stainless cans? Prices? I'll take a shot.. Good condition... 4k is a good deal. Under 5k might be acceptable. If it's nearby and the owner seems the caring sort.
  5. the manifold nipples are open? that will cause the problem
  6. Welcome Gavin. Looking forward to the adventure
  7. I don't know if this is the case but it could be caused by an offset motor. My K1200 RS rear was offset 10mm ( I think) making left cornering a bit sketchier than right. Were our motors offset for the 5.5 rim? Also, if your front tire is worn you'll have less tread on the left side.
  8. Finland looks fun. Home to Steve and the seagulls
  9. yup, great idea. those hanger brackets look easy to make and unlimited positioning options
  10. Gorgeous! She sounds like she could eat your soul!
  11. a pic from a vendor site ****SOLD*** I'd say it has a 3-4" rise over stock. top to base is 15 1/2" has some minor scratching and fogging/haze. It ain't perfect but not too worn. 2 indoor and 2 outdoor photos I'd like $40 for it, and whatever shipping is to you. I will pack it nicely!
  12. there was a thread some time ago regarding those rotor buttons. oxidation can make them stuck. remedy is to make a bolt/nut set up to clamp the button, and spin it with a drill. It won't work on my '00 but will on the '02 which has through holes.
  13. Looking forward to seeing you both. Made me check my reservations Bill. Maybe Wait just doesn't recognize some of us as Guzzisti
  14. thanks for posting and translating this. I wish I could read the comments section. I'm liking this bike concept so far. I've been looking longingly at a Duc Scrambler X Sled
  15. you could fab a small bracket and attach to the hanger so it doesn't touch the can. on the bracket, mount the Lafranconi guards
  16. the one in Cincinnati is ...um... no longer there
  17. lol...tempting, but honestly, I'm with ya on the tires Dave. I'd pick her up fer sure. No surprises.
  18. if you ride it back pack some relays for the trip. If the owner hasn't done it already, you'll want a new batch of Omrons anyway.
  19. Good job Dave. The timing was right!
  20. It's a pricy Tenni, but considering condition, mileage, and there's probably no more than 38-40 of them in the US, not that bad, if you have to have a Tenni. The aluminum flywheel will need to be addressed at some point in the next 10-15k miles if you want to feel secure against failure. Tenni, Scura, and Rosso Mandello all suffer from an inadequately manufactured flywheel. Many of us have done the swap, lots of info here.
