Tracey Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Last winter I repaired a crashed V11 Lemans, 6,500 miles on it this season and only one speeding ticket... This winter I'm repairing an old V1000 Convert. My wifes first bike, I thought the semi-auto transmition, floor boards and brake pedal would be a great learners bike. Bought the bike cheap, It has some needs... Question: The clutch control arm, pivot and everything aft of the cable is missing. Do I need to pull the gear box to replace the actuator rod? I'm waiting on a parts list from Moto International to help me. Guzziology doesn't say much on the topic. I'm thinking some of the older V11 guys might remember a similar project. Any advise?

jrt Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Call up Mark Ethridge at Moto Guzzi Classics or better yet, go to the source- B.J. Schwartz of Hesperia, CA. Either of those guys will be able to set you straight. B.J. is an old-time dealer, now retired, who rebuilds the Convert transmissions. He's a great guy- unfortunately, I do not have his phone #. Mark might have it, and he will be able to give you good advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracey Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 Thanks for the suggestions and the link. My parts list arrived today and I found more info in Guzziology. Looks like the gear box and torc converter need to come off, If I can find the parts. I guess the control rod is hard to find. I'll make some calls...
