mikev Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 Thanks everyone, I've got the bar end weights and new Rizoma mirrors installed. Really nice mirrors. Thanks Phil I got the adapters for a 2000 Ducati monster 600 - Revzilla didn't list MG V11 - which came with the correct bolt you recommended for the V11. The kit included 5 different bolts, so it seems pretty universal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikev Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 its been warm enough to go for a few rides with my transformed guzzi... 50s during the day here ... salt is pretty much washed off the roads, though road crews havent fixed the pot holes yet ... stock airbox makes the v11 sounds better, even great, it sounds better ... i don't notice a power difference at all - seems like a totally appropriate and good refit .... rizoma mirrors are awesome (thanks again @Lucky Phil) no wobble, nice coatings, and as you said i have totally forgotten how much they cost and only notice the quality ... maybe my next initiative will be to remap to gain better MPG if possible. Oil change is complete (purchased the oil filter wrech suggested by @gstallons) Bike is running great. just need some better cold weather pants and a baklava for these early spring days. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 A baklava huh ? Hmmmm. Skip and I were discussing them just a few days ago ! Whether you eat 'em or wear 'em ? 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiomick Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Balaclavas taste great, and baklavas make you look like you're about to rob a bank. I think.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered who might wade into these similar words . . . Balaclava is the face covering named for the appearance of Crimean War helmets at the Battle of Balaclava, the site of present day Yalta in the Ukraine on the Black Sea. Baklava being a Middle Eastern sweet pastry. Robbing banks with baklava is sure to make friends! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baklava is pretty close to my favourite accompaniment to a cup of coffee. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! you know your references.. 19 hours ago, docc said: Robbing banks with baklava is sure to make friends! There used to be so-called "gentlemen robbers", who did it in style without any harm to anyone. Those days seem to be long gone. When I look around, I can't help but think that our society has lost a lot of the values we got hammered with at school. I remember that we had "Civic tuition", and were taught how to be courteous with everybody else. I get the feeling there should be more people learning about the healing and peace you get from riding a V11... Lots of unhappy people around! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this thinking. Simply include coffee as @audiomick suggests! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowtownchemist Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Hey Mike, do you mind putting up links to the end weights and mirrors you ended up going with? I am also in the market for a similar set up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
