  1. nice, thanks. price tag?
  2. love this ... and somewhat relevant...... "and all that road going" only 7 min
  3. looks like an awesome deal Badge
  4. I'll bet Enzo at Cadre Cycle will pack them back in that factory box the way they came out. That's how I got mine from Harpers... well protected! Not a bad price for extinct parts. I think they were closer to 1500. when new. Harpers sold a mysteriously "discovered" batch of kit's awhile back for $1000. I happily bought one. (I'd still offer extra for bubble wrap
  5. Yeah... Curtis has a RM for sale now... one he just had painted, he said.
  6. Another plus for doing them both at the same time is cost. The shops around here anyway, may charge for "set up" when coating a custom color. It also guarantee's the color and sheen will be the same. Keep us posted!
  7. dang. that's nice.
  8. jealousy begets apathy Bill, as well as the occasional evil spirit. punishment was proportional, and enjoyable. a well documented adventure catfish and onion rings - a well deserved photo. thanks!
  9. Welcome to the forum Kuni0. Post your adventures and photos/vids anytime
  10. I have had enough instance of 'no brake light' that I have taken to checking it before every ride. The micro-switch at the front lever can be troublesome. It has tiny spade posts that break off if messed (bent) with much... moving wires, etc. The connectors can be hard to remove and re-install. The switch has a tiny actuating ball in front that can get dirty, and is easily lost when cleaning. The switch is quite sensitive to mounting position. It can be moved slightly when tightening the 2 bolts, toward the steering stem, or away from, causing it to either work or not work. The light bulb socket is another point of trouble. Loose-weak springs at the wires, and corrosion. Remove - clean - replace - Done. Anyway, The front is the business end, but a working rear is a handy back-up.
  11. have you documented this project Roy, here or elsewhere?
  12. easy peezy Pc. welcome to the forum.
  13. following with interest...... nice hammer Tom
  14. these guys make it I believe Docc. the DAS logo is engraved on mine. https://shop.daes-mototec.com/de/Fahrwerk-7/Fussrasten/DAeS-Fussbremshebel-fuer--V11--1100-Sport--DayRS.html Harpers has a billet one too. I have their shift lever and the finish (blasted) is nice. but the DAS is a very nice piece. https://www.harpermoto.com/harper-coes-6061-billet-aluminum-v11-lemans-rear-brake-lever.html
  15. do show us your method and how it turns out.
  16. is it possible your tank has had something "coating" added prior? It should be just a thin clear coat. My clear coat is easily removed with a light grit polishing compound. You can just see the edges as it comes off. I'd be afraid to wrap it considering the possibility of ethanol blistering. Something you may not be concerned with in Holland. Get an experienced painter to have a look at it.
  17. since I don't have the bike to look at, I pulled up some random photos. It looks like some owners have moved the spring to the front side of the stand somehow, or procured another stand. the v11 stand should be fine, and has a kill switch!
  18. you lost a whole toe?
  19. That's it, buddy! Thank you! Dang it. That thread ended without conclusion. I'll follow this to see how Drews turns out.
  20. "First one's free" is good marketing for consumables, not durable goods. Sounds like a great event, despite the mechanical challenges. SoCAL Not a Rally coming up soon here in San Diego. SoCAL Not a Rally coming up soon here in San Diego. Do tell....
  21. nice. can you see what 'it' sees in real time?
  22. what volt meter are you using Dave? sounds like a handy accessory.
  23. Scud's advise is spot on. Beyond that, at some point you'll have to pick a number and advertise. Good luck. Great bike.
  24. well said Chuck. Maybe these are the good ole days. there's a great joke in the background of that photo.. but I'll leave it..
  25. nice I'm liking how these folks are thinking. there are a few versions-searching guzzi 1400 lemans. Design Corner - Moto Guzzi Le Mans 1400 by Marcocarbon. Homage to Guzzi design heritage makes my heart beat a little faster. I may be ready for a set of suspenders.
