Cabernet Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Does that brass location lug in the bottom of the housing do anything else but orientate the switch on the tube? Seems to "start and kill" fine off the bar. Sent wrestling with Tapatalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czakky Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Not sure where you're at? Inside the cluster or?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabernet Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Yeah inside at the bottom. Seen resin ones on new Japs, but this seems an expensive way of doing it. Sent wrestling with Tapatalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docc Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 That does likely well made next to the typical Japanese "molded in" locator pins that tend to shear off. Who makes this switchgear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabernet Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 It's the OE Guzzi original. Looking at doing a handlebar conversion and weighing up the issues. Just making sure it does nothing else before dispensing with it. Sent wrestling with Tapatalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuzziMoto Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 That is just a locator pin. But I recommend keeping it if you can. It is not that hard to drill an indent in the new bars to fit that pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabernet Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Why risk drilling into a primary control surface for the sake of a of a secondary non riding control accessory. Looking at aluminium bars and whilst the odds of causing a stress riser is low, the resulting potential is huge. Why add that kind of risk. Did you see what happened to Sam Lowes in Moto2 at the A1 Saxon ring? Sent wrestling with Tapatalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O2 V11 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Cabernet, What risers are you planning on using? Giving the handlebar conversion a lot of thought myself but cannot locate a set of risers tall enough. Any thoughts on this. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabernet Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 A couple. The bolt on the risers for VX800 are long enough to just clear the fork tops without moving them. So a goodly spacer would riser it enough. Alternatively the FZ1 has some good height risers. The bar options seem limited due to the distance between the bosses under the top yoke that will need drilling. Thinking a Renthal 658 superbike bar. Sent wrestling with Tapatalk.
