The website was last updated in 2010. I emailed them... would not go thru. Must be defunct.

ok, here's the link for the unusual shift return spring fix. MartyNZ found it. Thanks Marty http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19827&hl= You shouldn't have to worry about that ever breaking!

So, the dealer bought it from the owner.. using Ebay? then offered it up for sale? I saw this on ebay awhile back and noticed the shift spring fix kit. I grabbed some nice pics of it and posted here. Now I can't find it. I also contacted him to see where he got it. Japan 2 years ago.

great looking bike Mike

On mine, the 2 pieces held together with the large circlip are aluminum. There are no seals there. They just clip onto a flange to hold the fuel line t-junction in place. I haven't been any deeper, but it feels like if you pop that off the seal is under there.

Next thing you know the avatar photo changes and it's all down hill from there! Of course the only people who complain about the Greenie attitude are the ones who wish they had one. Nice avatar swap. Workin in the TRex would have been an alternate choice... Re: this whole thread..... all bikes are adventure bikes

Congratulations on the bike! and welcome. pictures!

Side by side visuals show the Stucci built heavier and stronger than the FBF. I ran the FBF for about 5kmi. No cracks. The Stucci was a Mother of all bombs to install. Though built well, it was not built straight. The FBF was a perfect fit, very friendly. I wanted to use it, and was going to weld on a 'crack reducing' re-enforcing plate, just making it a bit longer, so I could utilize the central hang bracket, but I got lazy and will just go with the Stucci now that it's on.

yes standard tool kit... bag anyway. this is exciting! are those relays grey?

is this the one? http://lonelec.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=57_20&product_id=51I take it one could use any micro adapter to fit pc? that ebay one is a lot less $$ but from HKong. http://www.ebay.com/itm/262140277271 it's time I figured this out and checked it all.

early LM! very fitting

does anyone know what's "inside" the stock xover assembly? is it a cat, or??

my HF ultrasonic said use a household cleaner in it. I used simple green ....worked great on carbs

thats a MG stock rack. can't remember the ridiculously low weight capacity but it'll hold a stuffed full medium dry bag.

back the damper off like Docc says, give it a couple clicks back "on" and turn the front quickly back and fourth. then a couple more clicks and see if it stiffens up. the relays maybe send to the bikes owner address to get then quicker, OR... seems like he would have an extra one already. you only need one for emergency use. my first weekend adventure with newly acquired red/grey LM, I had a relay fail. #5... fuel injection. I was too much of a rookie to realize what it was. I had been reading some on this forum, and thought it was vapor lock because it started easily after cooling... three times before complete failure. Lucky for me, I had also read on the forum to pack fresh relays, which I did. I pulled and swapped each one till the bike was fixed. zoom. I use Aerostich 2pc for all travels. Easy, waterproof, armored, heavily vented. I wear shorts and a tee under it and pack only lite weight long johns and a fleece top. Cool, or warm, depending. easy carry. your weather may vary:)

the Laverda looks great! I like the Magni as well

the pads should relax in a few days service. at least Shoei does.

Ha, did you notice in the video the close up of him pulling up after the run to check the view the drop of oil fron the engine bay hit the ground. Jags, some things never change:) Ciao could be oil....... could be drool ?

by that photo, all you said I can agree with. mickey mouse best compromise will need maintenance I can't make out where you would have used a hammer to make any of it better, tho hammers carry much respect here The pivot arm from the footrest end (pointed down) could use a couple of clicks forward imo, to make it parallel with the linkage arm. That should slightly increase leverage and make push and pull more consistent. The sleeved bolt on the actuating arm will want to be snug at all times, as it looks like a weak/flex point to me. I'm curious to know if you used the stock set-up prior to that installation? (for comparison) Either way, glad it's workin for ya!

I would try to precisely locate the source of the tap first by using a length of flexible hose, one end at my ear and the other end placed at suspected locations. Think 'stethoscope'. I use a 3/4" auto water hose about 18" long.

"Do you know why Moto Guzzi added the metal banana? What's it supposed to do? Cheese-head wants to know. :cheese:" the banana looks like maybe a better way to reduce lateral flex on those gears than just cir-clips. ?? isn't there is a sprung nipple for the neutral switch under one side pushing up?

Rosso Mandello, Scura, and Tenni had the single plate clutch with the aluminum flywheel. All others dual plate.

Yup.... did 5 years there as a toddler. Then we got sent to Alcatraz. I did a year there. Got out for being quite small and very polite. All these years later... a Guzzisti!

So I asked where he found it. He answered "Japan, 2 years ago" at a place called "Cow Space - you can find it on the net" I tried - I could not. Something must have been lost in translation. Good photo though. Shouldn't be too hard to duplicate.

LOL! Leavenworth. My father was a federal prison guard there. I was born in the fort hospital. Nice cup.
