Gee Hacker I'm sorry you were unable to deal with the stuff. You can
rest assured others have succeded. By the way did you ever get your
broken down gizzi running again ?

Cheap tin boxes with cheaper components. The jap gear was 10 bucks for a bag full of left and right sets and took less than 5 minutes to wire up and mount. The inner workings are even simpler than the cev. No springs. No crap solder splatter. No bakelite. Give the jap set to the dog to play with for a month. 2 minutes and a toothbrush will make it work again. -----Original Message----- From: Gary Cheek [mailto:kg8-@home.com] Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 2:13 PM To: Loopfram-@topica.com Subject: RE: CEV ======== An American Classic =========================== There's a good reason why Reader's Digest has long been one of America's favorite magazines.

A lot of people just getting into this stuff spend considerable effort adapting other switch gear soley because they have been scared by wive's tales. I have seen locals put together their first Guzzi loop take great pains to come up with replacements before even trying the original. I have also seen the stuff crap out at the side of the road. I just want to take the edge off some of the gross exagerations that bring about some not so good applications of switch gear only imagined to be superior to what was on the bike . I have seen a lot of the jap switchgear turn to poo as well. Again some from owner help ,some from a little asian influence. Every one has their own experiences,but I always ride home on what I ride out on . And I have never had a CEV failure on the road. Zerhackermann wrote:
