Hi Chris,
In Moto International's catalog they give the clutch cable length as 61"
for the "police, drum-brake Eldo - no switch". Check out their catalog also
for lengths of most throttle cables. It doesn't say how long the V11 Sport
cables are, but a carbed Cal 1100 has 35 1/4" long ones. You can download
the cat from their websitehttp://www.motointernational.com
You might check with Mark @ Moto Guzzi Classics also. I bet he's done one
this way and knows just what works. Cheers,

Charlie.

cables

Well my tonti riding friend, that is why K&N filters are designed to
withstand small children and old people - they wreck havoc on your

intake.

Now if I can just find that supercharger that someone posted...

PS this loop is for sale in CT

Yep,

I am sure that I will feel the air being sucked out of my apartment

in

Manhattan when that engine ignites in Queens. Small babies and old

people

beware.

Tom,

I have 40mm carbs on my project which can be seen in this

picture:

I'm afraid the rest of the shots aren't that helpful because I

have

the
carbs bagged. They are rubber mounted. Not sure about the

adjusting

screws
(haven't had to tune them yet!) but I'll take a peek tonight. If

I

can get a
digital camera I'll snap some more pics if you want.

Chris
