Cruisin' Guzzisti
My wrist is still aching from last weekend's ride on my 1993 Lemans Ultima Edizione V1000.
I love the bike , hate the throttle .
I've heard numerous comments about converting the carbs to Flat Tops , instead of the as produced "Crank" mechanism. Seriously , what is the reduction in wrist effort when this is done.
When I was searching through the "gutsibits" website I found there is also a rod available for inside the carb , instead of the internal cable, which fits between the crank and the slide .
mmmmmmmm this must mean that with some careful design of a pair of carb quadrants to accept twin cables , and using a pull push twist grip , I could run short cables to two splitters feeding respective carbs , for pulling and pushing . ( my jolly old 1941, 741B Indian has an awsome system , solid piano wire in a sheath )
I think the "only" spring requirement may for a lightweight spring on the top of each slide , just in case a cable busts.
Any thoughts on this modification from actual users is going to help me a lot .
Regards Supaflee
