Andy,

I had the same bars on my Ambo and used the police clutch cable with no
problem. Gives you enough slack to give gentle curves and place out of the
way. It won't dangle under the bike if that's what you're worried about.

 just got back from a bone chilling ride [40*f] brrrr! not use to this
already. neat thing tho- riding someone else's guzzi! WOOHOOO!!!!!
yesterday [sun.] after changing the trans. filter in the truck and
mowing
 the grass, blah, blah, blah, i went up to say 'hi' to Patience, and maybe
fart around abit. next thing i knew, the front-end was all done [you were
right on, Keith- those bearings were all but seized up] the engine was
back
 in, and almost all bolted together. finished her up today, after working
on
 the daughter's car.
runs great! looks great! if it's ok with Keith, maybe several short
rides
 around here, and then re-torque the heads, and THEN send the bad girl home
to daddy!
question, ambo dudes! Keith has the 'ox-horn' police bars.does he need
the
 police clutch cable? the one he has on there is so short, ya have to run
it
 between the cylinders, past the breatherbox, and down to the trans. takes
some nasty bends along the way, too. i know that some of the eldo 'police'
cables are waaaay to long [why is that? those high bars with the crossbar
were'nt used until the T series, were they?]
well, gotta go to west virginia, so later on, ya'll
