Got a lever on order from AF1 how had is it to switch out?
When I first saw yours, reaction (besides sympathy ... most of us have "been there") was AF1.
Now that you've done that, unsure if you mean clutch lever (as that often goes in such lowsiders) or, as I presume, the actual shift lever down low, also a frequent casualty of left-side oops.
First, know that I have ridden (and like) V7's, but have not owned or wrenched one.
Second, if you refer to the clutch lever, about the only thing I've had to be careful with on working with those on my own Guzzis is the pesky little "switch ball," smaller than a BB or birdshot, that will escape and hide somewhere you will never find it. Be careful!
As for the shift lever, pretty straight forward comma but.
I recently fiddled with the one on my Norge and found that placement is critical. By that I mean even a ONE spline change at the base greatly affects where the toe pedal sits vis a vis your foot.
Anyone who stayed awake in high-school geometry knows that, of course, but I was too busy staring at Marilyn B's legs ... and, heck, that was a long time ago anyway.
Finally, especially as you live in an ultra-humid climate, you might consider some anti-seize on the splines. I had a devil of a time getting my Norge's to come off, tho it was 10 year's into the inevitable hidden corrosion.
Good luck.

Fairly basic. Move up or down lever to back out 2 bolts holding foot peg mounting bracket from the frame rail, then you can get to the bolt holding on the foot peg which the lever pivots on. take off nut holding linkage to lever. Put foot peg back through new lever w/orings in place, mount bolt back in the back. Don't forget to lube the peg where the lever pivots. Put it back together like it came apart. You could put a bit of blue loctite on threads of bolts so they don't vibrate loose and snug them up tight.

Well that was easier than i thought, still ned a new clutch lever up to (ball came off the end) but it functions for now. Thinking about the varios in the store, but im gonna wait kind of moving cross country in two weeks.
