Mike did you ever sort out your sportster mufflers? If not, I finally put those longer mufflers on my vert, and my sportie mufflers (the kind with only one...
... Manual in my '76 Vert says proper size is 4.10 X 18 OR 110/90-18 for both front and rear. I've got a 120/90-18 on rear and there's plenty of room for ...

hands down, my recomendation after 80k on verts, is....(drum roll)..... Metzler Laser 33 110/90 on the front, and (second drum roll).... Michelin Macadam 50...
Thanks Charles, But you have me confused about the Metzler Lazer up front. Is that your recommedation even though the other seven say it sucked or does it suck...
Hey, it's great to see some life on this list! Peet, I've got Metzler Marathon's on my Vert: a 100 on the front and a 120 on the back. I'm very happy with...
Mike I put some JC whitney muffs on my SP1000. Also stuck floorboards on it ;). They lasted about 1 1/2 years before the finish on them was ruined, and the...
yup, you caught me crossways. The Michelin didn't work well up front. Michelin actually redesigned it and released it as a 50 E I think. Still didn't work, ...
Thanks for the additional feedback, Shorty. Those do sound like the muffs I'm considering. I have heard that the packing tends to blow out, but it can be ...
Mike They aren't that expensive. Plus, I rode the stuffing out of that SP. Another plus is that they take the exhaust out past the rear end, while the...
Any one have one for sale, or know where I can get a digital copy. I don't want the whole round fin shop manual, just the supplement for the converts......
Hi, Mike (mtiberio). Someone on the loopframe list suggested that you try air shocks on your Convert. I put Progressive air shocks on mine this spring. We like...
Hi, all. Laura and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary last week by taking the Convert up to the Shenandoah National park. There aren't many pics with ...
DOH... I had a 77 megabyte file on my disk that is the entire Convert Shop Supplement... I have uploaded it to a free big file storage site. It will only last ...
Put a file in the file section with this info as well. I uploaded 5 copies to various free file hosters. They should stay up for at least 30 days after the...
MTIBERO: I've got a pdf file of Convert Parts List/book. It's around 90 mb. If you want me to send it to you so you can post that also, let me know. It...
Nice shot and all, but with a duffle bag, helmet, and some white tumor growing out of the right grip. Surely we can find a more representative picture to...
thanks, I found my own copy that I got from someone in australia or new zealand last winter. I posted it on the web, and put links on the MGconvert group... ...

Hi, all. The headlinght switch on my Convert has 4 settings: off, park, low, and high. Nothing happens when I move the switch from off to park. What should ...
Moto Guzzi back in 2002 was touting the development of a computer controlled semi-automatic (ala FJR1300-AE) but for some reason it never appeared on any...
Will, I don't understand why you don't like CVTs. The Convert tranny is just a hydrolic CVT. I don't like regular automatic transmissions, but I like the ...
I'm flattered, Dwight, but as the other Mike hinted, mine isn't all that pretty... (I don't much care how it looks as long as it functions well.) Mike, that...
The taillight, any front clearance lights and speedometer lights should all come on. Don't forget, the ignition switch should be on for them to work. Cheers,...
RE: "Will, I don't understand why you don't like CVTs. The Convert tranny is just a hydrolic CVT." Right. I couldn't find the 'edit' button and wanted to...
