heck yeah. have a go at repair. finding one will be tough. finding one in your color, in good shape... you'll be very lucky... and may pay a lot for it. what have you got to lose?

I could not stop watching. a great man.

Do tell us about your led headlight experience swoosh. Some here have done led swaps and I'm still not sure which way to go.

maybe just a muffler swap? I've not heard Neptune just watched youtube vids. on a Triumph triple they sound terrible. not good at low r's but nice as he gets into it on a 990KTM. I don't like the sound they make on the 675 either. The guzzi has to sound better than those!

sorry man. me too, same deal tho no bodily injury. I'll be getting those ebay pegs too!

looks like they do have one http://www.ebay.com/itm/1x-1157-High-Power-New-2835-Chip-LED-Red-Turn-Signal-Brake-Tail-Light-Bulb-/291562006120?hash=item43e2732668:g:9lIAAOSwLqFV8xyk

I don't think I'd want one that flashed. Not sure why really. When I'm behind a car with them it's like being shouted at. Kinda like the people who drive with the flashers on. I'm sure that's the point, and is an extra step for safety. I just don't want to do it. I do like the super bright led idea though and will pursue that, along with some louder horns. If it's that bright, maybe that's enough? Modulating headlights bug me too.

This is hard to get my head around. My pump (on an '02) is in front over the oil cooler. My filter is where your pump is. Your leak is coming from what would be the inlet end of my filter. Fuel goes to the rear to injectors. The leak coming from the front of your pump would indicate that being the outlet end. Is that the direction of fuel flow on this system? Maybe I'm not seeing it correctly, but what else would concern me is 1- whatever device that slows the pump whenever adequate pressure is met... ain't workin. and 2- fuel is being forced out the weakest point.. that be the hose coupling on the outlet. Maybe a small crack in the hose there.??

well, I've always wondered about that thing. thanks for the explanation.

I wish I could read Italian. About 40 pics into the first link http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19665it appears Mr Marabese had some influence in the design Speed Triple, among other bikes. Trying to find more evidence is tough, other than several instances stating - Marabese Design was hired by Triumph for work on the Speed Triple. I like the bike, but never a fan of twin headlights. I agree with those who say the R1100S is the main rival. I had them both. The BMW is a higher quality built machine imo, but lacked the character of the LM. Character is a huge piece of the whole for me. So bye bye R11S.

Sorry for maybe sipping the question, but from which side looking? From the battery as I understand it? Yes, from the front. Relay#2 is a busy one for tachometer, charging reference, headlamps, stop lamp, dash warning lights, and horns. hey docc, is this true for all years of our Sport/LM?

as long as we're on the "jack" topic, which one is yours? I like the idea of wheels on it.

Here's the video from my buddy Mike on the Thruxton. And the other bike... My Triumph was a T100. Similar to the Thruxton but less sporty. I did have the flyscreen and Thruxton exhaust. But no rearsets. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Those are all beauties! Great seeing the same ride from another camera. Your friend starting the Vincent really made me nervous cranking her over slowly... with the ign on.... in sneakers. He must really know his bike.

what docc said. mine started to dance. the base fell out of the angle drive and the cable innards fell out. new parts from MG cycle fixed her up.

Docc......... I like how you think. 45 caliber?

hey Swooshdave...I watched your "sunny Sunday ride" while I was in there. I for one would love to see more of the 850. The Thruxton is cool. Was yours similar? What was the other guy riding?

+1 At least for me the Green enthusiasm has to do with the original... Telaio Rosso The re-introduction of the 2000 model was to pay homage to this, I believe. Alien invasion of 1971 And I had a Schwinn Stingray bicycle that same color. Are you thinking of getting another Guzzi?

great Mike! can't wait to see the pics

That is more bike, and a better deal imo. good luck!

MGCycle has 'em

you could do as Chuck mentioned and back the bike in. Nice Norton btw. I owned a 75 for several years. Sweet sound. Garage art.

What replacement clutch did you decide to go with? Had you had any problems or is this pre-emptive?

Big fan of BR549!

holy Crap! this is getting exciting! I'm Green with envy Scud. wait...my bike is green, right?

she sounds good. nice touch working in "welcome to Oregon" painted on the tarmac. thanks for the video of the trip
