I was told a similar technique for foot and hand position. With a bike on its centre stand LOL, place both open hands palm down on the bars, try to stand up, if you need to grab the bars and pull your feet are too far forward, if you have to push then too far back. May be safer than checking at 60mph but of course does not take wind pressure into account. Perhaps add a slight degree of push?

I did exactly what you have done as soon as I got the bike, that and drilled headstock to accept higher bars, a comfy bike.

As you say, on a parallel twin maybe it helps. Have you ever contributed to a thread then after a few turns kind of lose interest in continuing the story.

I thought the idea of connecting the manifolds was to help keep the carbs/fuel injector bodies balanced at closed or almost closed throttle, once you open the throttle it makes little difference. We used to blank the balance pipe off while setting up and synching the carbs then reconnect. Probably a 360° parallel twin thing.

If they spin slower than than other Guzzi drive shafts they must be subject to higher, not lower torque.

I have often wondered if linking the two manifolds would help low throttle balance. Many parallel twins do, perhaps the uneven firing order of our v- twins mean this would not be of any benefit.

Yeah, like the idea of an off the shelf 90° box with chain drive. Make sure the wheel turns in the right direction though.

We are not all rich and do what we have to do to keep our bikes on the road. To be fair to whoever did this 'repair' it seems to have worked and so saved our planet from having to produce a new part. Of course one should declare these ingenious repair methods when selling.

So which bikes have the twin cable, could I retrofit it it to an 03 RC? You may remember one of my first posts was about the throttle linkrod adjuster knob getting caught on the rear shock reservoir pipe connector, this was at full throttle! Surprising how quick it accelerated, luckily on a straight road, until I remembered the kill switch. I am sure I could have made it roll off with a twin cable setup.

Good spot JAAP, Wonder how strong 3D printed plastic is. Would be nice to see it in metal.

My 03 Rosso Corsa only one cable.

With 15 posts you are no longer a NOOB. My 03 LeMans throttle cable can only be adjusted at the twistgrip end. Have you looked above the LH throttle body to see if you have another adjuster there? On other bikes I like to set the twistgip end adjustment halfway then correct at the other end. That way I know I can twiddle with the twist grip end if I get bored on a long run.

Must be dangerous bit of road, notice the spectator benches either side.

Bikes are like women, it is easy to let a good one go then regret it later, especially when someone else is getting all the fun.

Google translates that as " They know what the clutch dimensions are for Guzzi V11 they would help me". Hello V11scura02sport From google translater "which dimension do you need?" "Que dimension necesitas?"
