rda Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Hi guys, I have seen a few photos of V11 Sports on here with upswept exhausts. It looks fab! Apparently thye way to achieve this is to install the hangers from an 1100i so I mentioned this to my dealer for him to order me the hangers. Unfortunatley he assuerd me (from looking at these 2 models already in his workshop) that the hangers are not interchangeable. I would *really* like to have this done, so can someone please confirm what is required and maybe send some closeup photos of the new hangers in place. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ross If anybody has them, Pete Morcombe at Reboot Guzzi Spares does. He has a 97 Sport 1100i being parted out right at the moment and the mounts are Rear Footrest Hangers(Pair) £20.00. Pete's a real gentleman and all-round good guy. Give him a buzz. FWIW, the mounting holes for the Sport 1100i appear to be 6 cm and the mounting holes on the V11 Sport about 6.6 cm. The distance from the rear hole on the Sport 1100i to the muffler mount is 12 cm and on the V11 Sport it's maybe 19.5 cm or so. Quite a difference. You could just try detaching the rear bolt, loosening the clamp and investigating whether the bolt can be positioned at the bottom of the lowest triangular-shaped hole in the mount casting and then see if the muffler can be angled up to that. I think the additional clearance is just there for the Tekno bags offered for the V11 Sport. The rather wide seat of the Sport 1100/Daytona RS series pretty much precluded that kind of baggage mount. Greetings to Scotland from the USA, I spent two days in Edinburgh in June of this year. Now I'm listening to the Porridge Men and wishing for a new release.

Paul Minnaert Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 when delivered with the kit, it comes with a small metal plate that covers the distance in the mounting holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info, do you know of a supplier for the kit? Cheers Ross If anybody has them, Pete Morcombe at Reboot Guzzi Spares does.

Thanks for the link and the info - if I cant find a kit as Paul mentions above, then I may buy the hangers seperatley and see what I can bodge together in the garage Oh I can hardly wait till my Mistral Ti ovals get here Regards Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 the kit is with guzzi titanium silencers, and expensive. it's pretty high mounted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rda Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 the kit is with guzzi titanium silencers, and expensive. it's pretty high mounted Im still having no luck over here. I have spoken to two dealers and one Guzzi parts specialist and none can find a part to do what I want. None have even heard of this being done on a V11 without purchasing a specialist high level exhaust and removing the rear pegs Looks like im stuffed, although I have ordered the 1100i hangers from reeboot spares just in case.

Longer searching will give a better picture. like this: http://www.v11sport.de/images/umbauten/coppamans_1.jpg http://www.v11sport.de/images/coppa_4.jpg http://www.v11sport.de/images/coppa_7.jpg but here I found one I made myself, see attached picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
