I'm confused as to what part broke? foot peg model or floorboard?
I'm up in Sohomish Co. (clearview actually) I have some left over Ambassador
bits if you need something to get you on the road again.

I just got back from a 200 mile ride (my bike is running fine and the high RPM cut-out gremilin is gone for now!?). At about mile 120 ( as I was rolling on to a ferry to cross Puget Sound), I shifted into neautral and watched with disbelief as my shift lever fell onto the steel deck! BTW my bike is a 73 Eldo. I got off and thanked the diety that this didn't happen on the road. Next I began to inspect the part... metal fatigue... the shaft simply broke off just leaving about an eight of an inch of the shaft sticking out of the pedal clamp! Anyone ever had this happen before? First question... how do I remove the remainder of the shaft? I thumbed through the manual and Guzziology and did not see any exploded views. I will be calling a few places tomorrow to see if this is a readily available part. To make a long story short, I was able to reef on the linkage and get it into 2nd gear and limped home @ 30-35 MPH!. For what ever reason... I couldn't get third gear to pop... oh well my clutch probably thanks me for it. Barry ============================================================ Stretch your dollars.
