I have to sell this......sadly. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Amazing what a pocket voltage detector and a loose ground wire will discover sometimes.... (slapping forehead)

Would anyone have a clue as to WHY I have, what I'll call, an intermittent starter motor? Sometimes the bike cranks, sometimes it doesn't. Starter relay sounds like its doing its thing, and all other parameters (bike in neutral, start switch on, key turned) are accounted for. Is there an optimal...

All electrics, with exception to brake lights, are present and accounted for. It was 21 years ago TOMORROW that, with $500 cash and a vague idea of used bike shops around the Philadelphia area, I set out to find something new-to-me. That $500 turned out to be a down payment on $1600, but you...

Now to tackle the incidental intermittent electrical issues

It's 99% the throttle cable, from what I can ascertain. Idling like an angry kitten now. Purrrfect

My 2.. just to make it official: The "Kickeroo on a Thruxton" one and The "Boomer on a Guzzi" one

I've been checking, and checking and checking for a source of a vacuum leak. Carbs are evenly installed, so they are not crooked in the inlets. The vacuum lines (from carbs 1 and 4) back to the fuel petcock are intact. The shared vacuum pressurization lines (carbs 2 and 3) do not seem to be...

Ok, kids, and kittens....it's a milestone day. Long story short....had to sell my Thruxton to pay bills, my 01 V11 Sport is in hospital with a total engine rebuild, so my attention turned back to this old girl. 10 AM EST, after 17+ years of being ignored, forgotten and written off...

Gotta choose...and so it's time to say goodbye; $4500 83xx miles. The good: Adult owned, adult maintained. 2nd owner. K&N cleanable air filter, Avon Road Rider tires fitted June 2011 (2000 miles), never, ever, ever down. Last year of triumph Thruxtons being assembled at the Hinckley plant in...

PROJECT IS NOT DEAD! Getting to the dirty stuff, at last! Rear shock and swingarm removed. I have SOME parts that I pre-bought on reccommendations of stuff that usually needs replacing. Got the word from my buddy (Brooks cycle center, in Northern VA) that the carbs are ready to ship, thus...

Question for those in the know... ...my buddy who'd rebuilding my carbs says that he needs " I need one needle assembly and one enrichening circuit assembly". Can anyone tell me from the attached schematic what items he's talking about? (note, the attached schematic is not exactly the one I'd...

2001 Moto Guzzi V11 Sport $4300.00 (negotiable) The good: "Guzzi Green", so you'll always be able to find it. New Pirelli Sport Demon "Angel" tires, mounted November 2011. K&N washable air filter. Aftermarket exhaust with Dynojet Power commander III,easily surpasses 91 bhp. Comes with Pitbull...

Born and raised in Perkasie. One town over! Small world

I guess I can afford to show some progress: Front wheel is back on (all new wheel bearings): I wound up comrimising on the stuck/sheared fastener. Ok, so I used a zip-tie. Rear tire mounted (by hand!) note new rear sprocket (and all new wheel bearings, here, too): New Front sprocket...

So, at the advise of, well, everyone, new front and rear sprockets are on order (16 front, 45 rear, factory spec) Here's the dirty mess behind the sprocket cover: Sprocket doesn't look tooooo challenging: And the gunk that collected over the years (currently soaking in Simple Green) And...

Ok...Update time. Work throughout March and most of April was ZERO due to an ongoing personal issue regarding my soon-to-be-ex, my AWESOME daughter, and lawyers. Understandable to say the least. First up, or, er, off: the steering stem/triple tree: I had to elist some help to get the lower...

After MUCH light-sanding and MOTHER'S polish, the fork brace looks much better....which also means I've just opened a can of worms in regards to refurbushing all of the other aluminum parts on this old girl: use it, love it, live it. The passenger grab rail will be addressed in due time...

What you're looking at right here is actual progress. Still it took one trip to Sears (for the wring kind of puller) and one trip to Harbor Freight (for the right puller). At the end of the day, with exception to the 20-year old Metzler that still is on it, the front wheel has all new bearings...

Maybe....there's a lot of them nearby at the local junkyard.. Cool stuff to go in.... My replacement fairing, needing a little TLC to firm up a few areas, waiting patiently in my loft: The forks, of which I have new seals, a seal tool, and a service manual. I'll get to these once the...
