My tank has developed some small bumps(one on each side)on the exterior about 2" (5 cm.) ... you should be happier you have a bigger tank now eheheheh ahahahah...
I have not seen anything similar to this on my Quota of similar vintage and mileage. When I'm not riding or travelling, the bike is always in a fairly dark...
Don't use 'em. I put one on my quota and the high beam light went out the next day. 3 day's later and I'm having somekind of issue either with the rear ...

Hi Larry, I have owned my Quota since 1996 and have never seen or heard from a problem like the one you described. May be you are just unlucky and there is...
My quota seat has never been exactly comfortable, but lately my bony old butt was really complaining after a couple of hundred miles and I decided that $500...
I put the Russell Day-Long seat on several years ago. I thought that the Bill Mayer and Russell seats were similar in construction, but perhaps not. The...
The stability issue has been with the bike since new. I suspect that the aerodynamics of the hepco becker bags and givi rear bag are somewhat to blame. I've...
Steve: I had a BMW K100RT which was sensitive to crosswinds also. Try and remove the bags and see if the "twitch" disappears. A lot cheaper than spending $$...
Hi Larry, Glad you joined the list! I've missed you and the rest of the Guzzi (and brit) guys at the local hangouts in Tampa since I've moved to Phoenix. I've...
Hi Lario, I'm hoping it is rear wheel bearings. At least those are cheap and easy to replace. If that isn't it, then you have the pleasure of delving in step...
I too have been lurking in the shadows as I am a new (again) guzzi owner. My quota sprung a leak from the tank and it seems to be coming from the mounting...
I'm thinkin' I'll be enjoying the pleasures you mentioned; "delving in step by step: rear drive, carrier bearing/ujointRear", etc. Seems I've heard u joint...

Does anybody sit on a GOOD stock Quota 1100 Headlight Assembly? If yes let me Know. I would like to purchase it. I do not wish to alter my fairing with a 1000...
Here's some more info: http://www.andyshome.de/html/technisches.html And, thank Greg Bender to add this info to the group. I have used this info and bought a...
Hi Sake, From your website, it looks like you've fit a yamaha headlight fixture into the stock 1100 fairing. I'd be interested in more details about this,...
Hi Group, Anyone in the Midlands of England would do well to go to P&P Seating' site. I have used them as a customer several times over the years and the...
Hey, It's not my website.. Found this website on Greg Benders homepage, and is property of a German guy Andy. However, my stock headlight was so terrible, i...
Dovy, the headlight i used is an early yamaha fzr 600 or 1000 twin headlight. Yamaha produced both types. single or twin. the choise is yours. Anyhow, for...
Since my Yamaha dual headlight assembly fits perfectly in the Q1100, here's some more info i found on the unit itself. (H1/H5) numbers, mentioned on the glass:...
