callison Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Nope, but I do remember how he described it. At the rear of the spine there are two openings for the bottom of the oil vapor recovery area (drains to the sump) and a fitting at the top front of the spine just aft of the steering head. On the Sport 1100i, both rear "drains" are used, in the V11 Sport, just one. For the Sport 1100i the one on the right gets plugged (V11 already is) and the left one is plumbed into the fuel line where it comes out of the petcock. The top fitting up under the tank gets a vent line run up into the fairing to a location higher than the tank. Naturally, the spine needs to be rinsed clean of oil prior to this unless you want emulate a two stroke or a diesel. The oil vapor line is re-routed (or replaced) with a line running up into the tail fairing where a vapor recovery canister is installed. How large this should be is something I don't know. I do know that the original post for the black Sporti was a request for information on how to return the system to stock because the canister would fill up after 600-1000 km's and then dump on the rear tire. I emailed the info to the fellow and asked what was going on. When he described the installation I thought it was about the neatest idea I had ever heard implemented on the Sport. Still do. I suggested that he just run a line from the canister back down to the sump like the original installation and eventually that is what he did, fixing his problem. This approach to added fuel capacity to the spine frames is just calling for a nicely manufactured kit. It would be advantageous to put it somewhere unobtrusive though and not lose that toolkit space. Inasmuch as the Buell Firebolt stores oil in the swingarm, I see no reason why the oil vapor recovery plenum could not be a special construction of the rear wheel shroud.

Guest jimjib Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 I went ahead and ordered the cheap reverse cones and will report how they worked out when I get them fitted. I have a buddy that had a custom 2 into 1 thunderheader copy, made up for his 1100 sport. He says his seat of the pants dyno tells him power has improved almost everywhere and the sound is righteous... even draws stares from the harley crowd. Here is what it looks like on a harley. If the cheapo cones dont work out...im going to try this setup....$600 US for the entire pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jimjib Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 If they work out, it would be a pretty good deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jimjib Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 Got them today...the quality is pretty damn good for the money. If I like them they will get painted black...along with the pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callison Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Yeah, and get a load of the specifications. You can see the catalytic converter where we have a crossover. You can also see carbs where the specs say FI. I think it's beautiful piece of work, so I hope some of the European contingent on this forum can ferret out some further information.

Paul Minnaert Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 The frame looks the same as the one http://www.htmoto.de/ is using for his "bott racer" htmoto is making his own fi system. I had cleaned the engine and pipes before the picture, all that leakage from the carb. paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_roethlisberger Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Not cheap... although fairly reasonable... Leo Vince I know, and have seen, the Carbon oval Leo's on one LeMans, but could someone post any side and rear photos of both the Titanium and Carbon Leo's on a Sport or LeMans? I'm trying to finalize my decision... I'm especially interested to see how the Titaniums look... thx! al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_roethlisberger Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Regarding megaphones, I've got Joe at Motostrano here in Redwood City, CA looking into whether Sil will be making their current megaphones available for the V11. They have a very attractive looking, and sounding, set for the Ducati Monsters. So it's feasible that either they could make a product, or someone could modify the Monster cans to fit.

dlaing Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Very Nice! Let us know what you find out. I found silmotors' website where they listed about every bike except Guzzi.... Cool Flash site though! Motostrano also has a great site with lots of specials that make me wish I had a Ducati... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
