    What Happens When You Lowside a Griso

    I have been able to reduce the price of repairs by living with some scratches and dents, as performance is all i really care about, but some hi-lites below to give you an idea of the price of perfection (Bike slid on the left, caught the dirt and flopped onto right side): Left Side: Broken tab...

    What Happens When You Lowside a Griso

    Ran out of brain 50 miles north of Weaverville, CA and low-sided the Griso on CA Hwy 3, a month ago. I can confirm that those headcovers are really vulnerable. The clutch master cylinder also didn't do to well, the combo rendering the bike inoperable after the crash. The later was probably...

    Vapor Recovery System

    Removed my tank to get at an oil leak at the oil breather tank behind the headstock and found one of the nipples (#13 in diagram below) coming out the back of the tank blocked and disconnected from hose (#6). I have, in the past, noticed that water does not drain from around the filler...

    V11 Lemans Motor in LM3 Frame (?)

    Thank You, Guzzigray. Your reassurances appreciated. I think the cost-(don't laugh too hard)-benefit of starting with the bigger 1100 motor instead of building up the LM3 mill will prove out ultimately. Indeed, the idea came exactly from reading your blog! First big step, and many to go in this...

    V11 Lemans Motor in LM3 Frame (?)

    All: I've been trying to source an 1100 Sport motor in Seattle but have not had much luck. Thought I'd check in here on some parameters and assumptions to widen the search, as I'm a relative Guzzi newbie (coming on 1 year since my first Guzzi): (1) Although widely available, California motors...

    LeMans III Superbike Race-Build - Please Advise

    (Cross-posted to WildGuzzi.com) Hi All: Just obtained a beater LeMansIII clothed in T3 bodywork from the fairing back and oddly equipped with 2 left-hand PHM40s. Mileage is 90K. I'm hoping to build a vintage racer to superbike spec (rules in red, below) and run it in Washington Motorcycle...

    Mark and Beetle: Thank You so much for the install info. It saved me A LOT of time dicking around. Done in 20 minutes. 400 miles later working perfectly. Thanks again.

    Does LeMans MK3 bodywork fit MK4 Chassis?

    So I just acquired a beautifully kept MK5 last month but I've still got a serious boner on for the MK3. I've seen a number of MK4s for sale at quite affordable prices and it occurred to me that it might be possible to build a replica that combines the look of the MK3 with the big-valve motor: -...

    Griso windscreens: MPG ? Handling ?

    Hi All: Bit of a lazy question here: I have the Griso medium windscreen (pictured at the beginning of this thread) in hand, along with a bag of bolts, but no directions. Can someone post a diagram or close-up photo of the mounting scheme, please? From what I can tell so far, the lower brackets...

    Clip-ons for the Griso.

    Hello All: I was just at the "Backfire" event tonight in Seattle and saw a Griso fitted with hi-rise clip-ons pass by. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to speak to the owner. Was wondering if anyone in this forum can direct me to a supplier. Also any experience with clearance issues, etc...
