Is there anywhere to get the colored dash lenses for the indicator lights on a 1000SP?

General Discussion / Re: Norge gas tank too long
« Last post by PJPR01 on Today at 07:16:57 PM »
I tried that, the tank is too long. 
I think leaving it off the bike for a week was the wrong thing to do.   
Maybe the zip tie will work at least to get it registered. . .

I've had the tank off for a week or more in the past and just used this simple method with no issues. 

By any chance did you take out the airbox or anything else that might be blocking the tank from fitting forward...100% sure the tank is set onto the rubber grommets and is not jammed somehow?

A great feeling. And a high five back. Very stoked. Gasket looked pretty good, and OEM spark plugs have been trouble free, so stayed with them (just fresh ones) for now. I don’t know if it’s psychosomatic or not, but the Storny sounded and felt even peppier than usual after the tune up!

The sealed (2RS) U-Joint carrier bearing keeps the transmission oil in the front section of the swingarm and the final drive oil in the rear.
I always get a bit of oil in both sections. I think this actually helps extend the life of all the internal components.
BMW had a reason for filling the /2 swingarm with oil.

I just finished replacing a torn boot on my T3 about an hour ago. Good chance to clean that whole area.

Wouldn't hurt to have another set of valve cover gaskets on hand for the next adjustment. They seem like they'll last forever but they won't. Many of us V7 owners have replaced our spark plug caps with NCK ones. The ones Guzzi supplies can give problems and it's an easy replacement. You then have to use a different model of spark plug to suit the caps. Worth doing. Good for you for taking the time to get help and learning to do the valve adjustment the right way. Gave you a good feeling, I'll bet.

Someone needs to (!) come up with a fabricated offset stud or clamp for mature tanks.

I used to have 2 pieces of 1 by(3/4") in my box at work. Put together, 1 on fuel tank & 1 on the ledge on fender would make a small tent shape. If you push down on the peak yuo move it right up in place, super easy. You could also cut the rubber pucks down. I found they go back to the enlarged size as soon you put in fuel unless coating and it still a waste of time.
