I’d like to get about a thousand miles on this rear drive and new bearings before then. Also due for Tank Off Maintenance. Not sure if I’ll tackle the throttle body/ injector swap as well. . . I have the answer to your need-miles conundrum. Our "B&B” has a room (with path to bath ) available. I'll even meet you halfway to escort you on some stupendous W.V. and Va. back roads. https://goo.gl/maps/xWasaho2TnYu6nai8 Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 @Andy - Can the throttle bodies be swapped without crabbing the frame slightly? (That's way we did it when these were changed under warranty at the dealer.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy york Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 i did not even attempt it. I just took a throttle body off one side then slide the other out w/ the upper and lower mountings still on. 2 hex head upper and 2 hex lower. Probably easier to pull the left side off. right side has the fast idle contraption on the bottom mount. I took it off of mine but some might prefer to keep it. As far as mounting Breva TB's......don't know. My first concern would be the spigot size that mounts to the head. many other concerns after that... not even considering what flow and mapping problems it might bring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I was trying to decide on a proper homage to the Inaugural South'n Spine Raid, 2004, "held" at the Athens Super8, just off I-75. I thought I might head up there Friday night, late, and take a leak in the parking lot. Not that any of us-four Inaugurals did, but it seemed to be part of theme "up'n 'em parts" . . . We've come a long way, baby! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Four weeks out . . . I hear wrenches spinning, tires being mounted, and throttle bodies being synched . . . Let the hills ring with V11 music! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hagan Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Well, in our case, it'll probably a V12 singing arias. Think all my Guzzis except my new V7 Special have been to SSR's. And, if I can't get my Norge's panniers back from the paint shop in time, that one will make its intro, too. . Bill (& Kathi ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doslemans Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Texted docc earlier this evening that I'm in again this year. Might as well move up there, made 3 bike trips to Tellico area and North Carolina best scenic twisty roads since mid July this year.

Blueboarhound Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Sooooo, both the Daytona and the Sport 1100 are down so it looks like I'll be bringing my 900SS this year in lieu of a Spine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueboarhound Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 That said, two new Raiders will be accompanying me this year, Adam on his V11 Rosso Mandello and Scott on his café-esque California Stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docc Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Bald River Falls really is a fabulous spot to get a sweet photo of your ride. (Thanks sctt2525 !! ) And a popular local place, as well. I swear I tried to get my Sport in the picture . . . . 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
