So I realised why the new caps sent with my andreani kit wouldn’t screw on- the thread pitch doesn’t match the stanchions.... Have I been sent a kit for the Ohlins forks by mistake I wonder? Bit of a long shot but can anyone confirm whether the stanchions (marzy + ohlins) have differing threads? Also, if I were to obtain the correct caps for the marzy tubes, would the internals still be suitable for them (lengths etc)? I went from excited to unhappy rather quickly as i’m sure you can all imagine!

They were for sale on GB’s website not long ago. Couple of hundred euros I think.

Better than ‘Slightly Porky’ 🐷

Unlike the placky fuel tanks....

Sir Chicken has a 2004 Moto Guzzi V11 though... Ye be a right royal rich chicken indeed! 🙂

“Long legged and easy to drop”

..not a euphemism..

Haha! Join the club man- I can’t get my fork caps to screw on...

No “brembo” written on them?

oh sorry- do they all use the same discs?

I’ve fitted some griso front discs to mine, which were much cheaper than the oe v11 ones, and work perfectly fine.

Before?

I guess it depends how limber you are? I’m 5’ 11’’ and 145lbs, the bike is naked with stock pegs (used various bar configurations over the years). Never ridden a faired bike very far so perhaps don’t know what i’m missing, but she’s a joy to tour on. Up to 300 miles per day is fine, 500 miles starts to hurt back + arse. However, i do avoid long motorway cruising as much as possible, just hate it, you don’t see anything. I suppose that’s much harder to avoid in the states and where a fairing would come into play?

Ooo corsaro- now that’s interesting!

Holy tits that’s a schmokin hot wee video there brother! ... ... ... (buells r still shite though haha!) before i bought my lovely v11 i lusted after a firebolt. Sooooo glad i got my v11- at 5k revs the guzz is tight, eager and fierce! The Byonk is all done and crappy.

My pal had a ulyssesses... it was hideous... can’t recommend them. Weirdly top-heavy, felt like revs maxed out at around 4k, finish was appalling (loom running over sharp edges) , ‘design features’ like the pekky frame and oily swingarm seemed unnecessary. Edit: lets not forget the shitty belt drive...

The scura. Byoooootiful! x

Damn that’s clean. (That red single)

Indeed. Certainly trumps my ‘glue six magnets to the brake disc bolts’ approach!

Ace pertaters. I reckon a monza’d be just the ticket for tooting about through yorkshire and derbyshire. edit: i luurve the light blue paint-scheme

You chaps dream big! I’m feeling the need to put restrictions on monetary values here... We already have a thread about ‘dweam bikes wot i’d wuv to have pwease!’ (GIVE ME A MGS01 LORD) I’m talking about relatively cheap bikes guys. Bikes that there’s no reason not to have (bar the space). Praps under the five thousand mark..?

Ooo that’sa bonza bike!

Forgot to mention my guzzlist: v50 monza and v35 imola...

Ducati? hmmm... just fill the thing with expanding foam... be reet.
