  1. I have the FBF tail but changed the taillight to an all red one.

     

    Not sure of the specs

    but would love to somehow install this led taillight from a Ducati Sport Classic

    Hope this confuses you even more  :thumbsup:

  2. Congrats!!!!

    The bike looks great.

    Now you will run into one problem that i can see. :grin:

     

    You will have to wait for you special benzina to brew and wish you were riding.

    My  :2c: , just screw it and ride the amazing machine with super premium benzina from the station.

    Again spectacular job.

    :mg:

  3. I will let the pictures do the talking.

     

    I am looking to trade my rack that is modified with two Harper Chase bags for just a regular one.

    I bought the bike this way and will be installing a Hepco & Becker system soon.

    Thus i wont be needing this set up but would like to have a regular rack for those not so long trips.

  4. Slow but steady

    Had a switch in the fairing from the previous owner that might have been for a led light by the fairing and it was not hooked up to anything.

    So I put it to use and that is where i decided to mount the oil pressure gauge.

    Hopefully this will be the weekend that I can give the bike the attention it deserves.

    Been to busy riding this one but I always wish I was on the Guzzi every time I open the garage.

  5. Time to start working on the bike before the nice weather gets here (above freezing)

     

    A few of the things that i have collected

     

    Gained a few pound over the winter so the bike has to loose some.

    Pete helped with this

    And I couldn't find a Oil pressure gauge that I liked so built my own set up.

  6. Thank you for the responses.

     

    ilmitico- the footpegs location look higher than the stock units.  It seems like the set up is more sport oriented.

                 How Tall are you?

     

    Don G - Thanks for the honest review. 

     

    Best thing to do is ride it the way its set up from the factory for awhile in the spring and get a feel for it.

  7. Hello

     

    I just purchased a 2003 V11 LeMans and want to set it up correctly during the winter.

     

    I am 6'3" and will be looking to get MotraTech forward controls.

     

    Looking to hear from riders how they have set up their bikes.

     

    Thank you

  8. Hello Everyone 

     

    I have been lurking around for a while and absorbing the info in here. 

    For that i am very thankful  :notworthy:

    I have loved the V11's since their introduction and I am finally glad to say I OWN one now.

    I have loved motorcycles since a teenager but I would not have trusted myself with them in my younger years.

    2 years ago and in my early 30's (31) I bought a project and after a winter in Maine I fully restored a '72 Honda CB450

    Tore it apart to the frame and went through every nut and bolt, replaced old technology with new and still keeping the soul of the bike intact.

    Rode that for the summer and put about 5000 mile on it.

    Enough about the CB450 

     

    I was looking for my dream bike you guys know it the V11 Lemans I wanted to find something that was taken care of and I was not in a hurry.

    After a few months of looking I believe I found the right one

    2003 V11 Lemans with roughly 12000 miles 

    2 owners and well kept by it previous owners (thank you)

    Met the 2nd owner to look at the bike and could not have met a better person, it made my decision to purchase the bike that more easy.

    as you guys can tell it has a few goodies

     

    Fast by Ferracci Carbon mufflers and also an X pipe also by Ferracci

    Power Comander

    Plus it came with all the take off parts 

     

    Looking forward to the time with my new V11 Lemans

     

    The ITT milage and trip odometer have stop working need to fix that will do some research to find out about that soon.

     

    A very happy person at the moment
