I appreciate this forum and the various custom solutions on offer, but this is a great source for even the mundane stuff - Todd always comes through with great prices, communication and quick shipping.

Appreciate the post here(!), and the business! Happy to be of help.
 
I wouldn’t call Brembo, mundane. That’s first quality componentry from their lowest line to their razors edge world class racing quality components.

Quality is quality.

I respect Todd and his business model for the fact that he doesn’t sell crap or low dollar junk.

You get what you pay for and really, that means something to me from any vendor or supplier.

My PC-V and AutoTune 300 has been performing flawlessly in my Stelvio NTX almost 10 years now.

Problems or issues?

ZERO.

All other things I have bought from Todd, also zero issues.

Enough said. 😀👍👌

ha well, I guess I mean 'mundane' as in 'maintenance items I could theoretically get from any Guzzi dealer'. I just think it's important to note that GTM is not all flashy tunes and custom exhaust - if it goes on or near your Guzzi motorbike, the store right here is great to deal with.

I also have the full exhaust +intake plate + PC-V + autotune system on my B11, have for years now. I should really do a review post, though it will just be yet another list of superlatives...
 
I've moved since the last time I serviced my brakes, and didn't bring all my tools.

...including my 7mm hex key. :| this aggravation may require two beers.

I purchased a 7mm hex key socket 3/8 inch drive. Makes the job at home much easier and I put a 7mm Allen wrench in the factory tool kit. Also I worked with a machinist to make a tool for the tool kit that can remove the front axle nut. Now I can work on the front wheel anywhere as the needed tools are in the bike all the time.

We are two peas in a pod John. I have had several tools made by my machinist for my bikes. Unfortunately he’s retired now. People are surprised how relatively inexpensive and the unbelievable high quality they are. There were tools needed to properly replace the timing gears in the Centauro that were no longer available. I had them made from photos and I got the measurements from people around the world who were kind enough to make the measurements for me.

in fact I am a machinist, and I think I'll do the same

For your information the wrench for the front axle nut is two piece so it will fit in the pouch. The box part was made from steel plate, and the handle from a section of steel pipe that I flattened to accept the wrench part. Had to be longer than just a single piece to have enough leverage to remove and install the nut.

ah yea, I figured it would have to be in two pieces. I'll come up with something, I'll make a few for some folks on here if there's any interest.
