as Docc said you need to use the twin plate hub.... AND the actuating (?) rod. I think this part might be a different length.

I’m quite happy with my ram clutch as well. Very well-made, easy to install, and feels very light at the lever. It has the added benefit maintaining some “originality” of the special edition, single plate bikes.

Looks nice, well sorted

thanks r3. it's a Stucci. https://www.ebay.com/itm/GUZZI-CROSSOVER-PIPE/323211791634?fits=Model%3AV11&hash=item4b40ec8d12:g:5Y8AAOSwsDVa1RbQ&vxp=mtr

Rapid City SD is a nice town. If you tour the Badlands at Pine Ridge, (recommended) you can spend the evening at Rapid City and have a fresh start to the splendor if the Black Hills. Botticelli restaurant is a great Italian eatery in Rapid. Find Nemo Rd going west out of town (This will take a little map study, or asking directions, but worth it!) Check out Deadwood. Take a fast road to Spearfish and head back south on Spearfish Canyon Rd. Not to be missed! If you have time, head back south and east to 385 north of Silver City and go south, take a break at Pactola lake. Farther south gets you some of the old mining towns, Hill City and Keystone, Rushmore, Custer park, and another must see... the Crazy Horse Monument. It's hard to ride the Black Hills without some criss-crossing of roads. It's easy to spend the whole day there. Belle Fourche north and west is beautiful. Devils Tower is kinda cool if you haven't seen it. Give yourself plenty of time to get to the battle site at Little Big Horn (Greasy Grass - native reference) as you will want to partake in the battle story as told by a park Ranger, as well as tour the grounds. I got to hear it from a Native American female Ranger, who told many details from the Native side of history.. truly amazing.

^^ agree ^^ West Virginia is beautiful. Also anywhere in east Tennessee and all of North Carolina. There might be an interesting road in Kansas, but I don't know where it is. Interstate 70 from Kansas City to Denver Colorado is 600 miles of straight and flat, prairie grass, wheat, and wind generators.

There are several posts around the forum regarding addressing this issue. Some of which are, (my own experience) completely empty the tank when in storage and over time, the "swell" will largely reverse. And... using a wood block as a pry bar (someone had photos up of this?) and as Scud mentions, various fiddling with mounting components. Ex: the rear mount nut re-positioned can give a tiny bit of extra room. Have a look at the front mounts to see what you can do there too. Every little bit helps. I personally don't have a real problem with tank stretch anymore.

eight miles high! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoSwOrytf_M

R3Datom9 ..Are there details listed somewhere, of the Sport you are parting out?

Nice Docc. Back at ya

Not me, but I will follow your endeavor with much interest

All the Lafranconi's are rather heavy and restrictive. The Carbon wrapped ones will be a tad lighter, but not worth it for weight... just for looks. They do still sound good, but no comparison to open aftermarket cans. The only value I can see is for stock replacement.

Brilliant! I can think of little better leisure time spent than inspecting another man's garage full of stuff. Especially one like that. Unless, maybe the pub afterward, with those two in tow, for a Guiness & Mild. or 2.

I wouldn’t kick it out of the garage

beautiful!

Uhggg thats probably the lowest mile fail I'm aware of. Sooo glad mine is outa there. curious.. what flywheel/clutch did they replace it with?

I watched the 4 video's I could find. He goes into detail about materials and construction method. He's a master craftsman. The bike is brilliant. I like it because his point was simple. Build a Titanium motorcycle. I'd like to see and hear more from him. Like why he chose a Guzzi.

"Another bike built for internet imaging and lookin' at. :glare:" It does "look" good. And to the casual observer, the minimal effort put into changes will likely go unnoticed. The V11 spine frame is already a work of art, and Scura is among the best variants. I worry about the exhaust location.

nice story porsdude.. welcome

Sorry for my previous brevity guys. Nowhere did I say riding motorcycles was the same as a bicycle. In the context of my intended point, some people can and do become quite competent at an activity by simply enjoying it. Others enjoy the analysis. Sorry to tread on it. I got on my first motorcycle and rode the crap out of it. Just like I did the toy bikes. End of That analogy.

I went from tricycle to bicycle to minibike to motorcycle. I don't remember ever thinking about how to turn.

the Lodge at Tellico Plains is a small, fantastic group of modern/rustic cabins, creating the perfect base for east Tennessee- west North Carolina roads and moto adventure. It's truly a special place. The poets, rogues, and Goose whisperers who gather for the SSR, make it interesting indeed.

Booked! My good friend Bill will be coming again, this time on his Super Tenere. His 3rd bike in 3 years.... he's working his way through marque's... till he wind's up with a Guzzi.

Thanks for the great write up Rich. Glad she did you proud.

I used a fine metal polishing compound called Flitz on CF. Works well. I use it on paint as well. It's fabulous on aluminum.
