So still in BC? Same owner? One of ours? Needing a new home? Do tell..

Sounds like you've found a good bike, and the bike found a good owner. The great thing (among many) about the V11 is the torque "launch". I'm not at all easy on my bike, but I'm not merciless. I've never seen my oil pressure light come on. Still.. the Roper plate is what the bike wants. As you said .. no brainer. One will turn up. I'd love to hear your impressions of the WR450 sometime. Maybe the adv bike thread? http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20154

why a business has to openly take a side, effectively disparaging half of his clientele, is beyond me. Got some nice stuff, though.

yes, very nice

yeah fotoguzzi, you got me thinking where exactly I got the "faux suede" idea I've had for quite some time. I must have just read it somewhere on line/magazine. I did some digging and my Tenni brochure calls it "imitation leather unique saddle" It seems a good idea it's not leather.. for wet riding purposes, it should last longer. I won't be using my "suede" seat for anything but very special occasions, and posterity. I wouldn't know where to start with reconditioning it FreyZ1. I really love the look tho, enough that I bought a beater seat to have recovered in real leather. I like the darker shade too, example Tenni Griso. Note: 2 tone

It's not real leather. I'm not sure what it's made of. I've only used mine a couple of times. Still looks new.

"build what we can and rethink" good idea. Sounds like some good times to be had, and no real loss.

needs some zinc chromate

Welcome Frey and sweet #112. According to our incomplete Tenni registry, there are somewhere near 38- 39 Tenni's in the States. Having the clutch sorted is a real bonus. Have fun getting to know her, and congratulations. http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6415&hl=tenni&page=1

Nice! Is that first one a book, or is it all brochure type stuff?

Uhh, yeah. Early on in this project, I think Scud was talking around $300 to get 25 made. I'm guessing the world demand is somewhere between 50-100. There's not a lot of money to be made on Guzzi parts.. MGCycle wants $8.63 for it. 50-100 is just what I would guess as well. and $300 for 25pc sounds very reasonable. I would imagine a set up charge is involved too.

Yowza!!

fwiw to me... the stock spring is worth $Zero.00 If I had not already "potentially" permanently fixed my own spring, I would likely pay whatever it cost for a ScudChuck spring. I want to buy one anyway, to contribute to a very worthy cause... and, so I will own one 50 for $50 is very optimistic.

I had a similar problem one time. It was a faulty relay. It went bad slowly over a couple weeks, then failed completely. The replacement failed the following season.

nice p38 paulnaz. yours? greetings to you too!

It's a sport nekked fer sure Looks great too

sorry, I shouda mentioned that I replaced it with a 15mm. The other bike, I filed down to 14.9mm while waiting for the new arm. It can be filed with a good file and some patience (time). As I've mentioned, I've had two '02 LM's and they both had the 16+mm boss. This could still create problems for those using the new spring, if it's not changed out.

this came out of the '02 Tenni

I have a stock pawl arm thats over 16mm. Was going to show a pic but imgzeit is down for some reason Chuck and Scud have put in far more r&d than Guzzi did on this part. I think it'll work fine

I agree with this. Not seen a Mistral, but I have a Stucci and an FBF and the Stucci IS built very well.

follow this advice. I did and was successful with my 4 year old battery.

mikuni round slides!

Some pics from rich46's shop. serious goings on... thanks for letting us in!

Uploading nice sized photos can be a pita on the forum. Email them and I or others can post. Several of us have good img hosts. I'll pm my address if you go that route. Do we wanna see a Guzzi racer built by a member? yeah! Wade Boyd is a colorful chap and a great rider.

Are you documenting your very interesting project anywhere? We'd love to follow. Sorry I don't have answers.
