Well here it is, I hope this document helps a lot of Captains out there.
This installation has been going on for a while now, I dont really like the throttle hook up too much as it could fail one day (We will see).
Feel free to critique the attached PDF as this may very well help others to do better.
if you cant get the attachment just PM me with your email address and I will send it to you.

Also if you want to know more again PM me or reply to this post.

Use at your own risk ! If your kill your self or destroy your bike I'm not responsible.

Cheers

Excellent find on solving the VSS issue. There are several Captains including myself that have been waiting for a viable solution other than the magnets.

I've seen some other throttle linkage approaches that may be more suitable or reliable. I'm not keen on the open loop end not secured firmly.

Great job. Let us know if you have any issues.
 
You're the man!!!
I worked on this for a while to no success so I placed it on hold as I was not wanting to take the back wheel off at this time(riding season and all that) and have been stripping the paint off of my El Camino and generally doing a full on restoration of it. I am going to order the VSS signal booster you recommend and take some time to complete this project. Thanks again for your diligence and hard work.
 
By the way OZ Captains, I have a spare VSS unit (Cos i bought two)
So if you are interested i will do this at cost (I will even post it to you included)

Also I wish to sell the Magnet set up (Brackets and complete Magnet set) Cost me $65 make me an offer - Remember this is only good for the Roadster.

The Brass bracket and controll switch will also be for sale (Soon) as i am going to convert to a MCCruise switch (Cost me $95) the swiches are not exactly compatable but i think it can work ok.
 

Hey tdragger,
what other throttle linkage approaches have you found?

Please share
 
Very impressive Mittzy. Way beyond my capabilities but I'm sure plenty of others will find that invaluable. Good one mate.

I've been searching for them today to no avail. One that I ran across used the pin that is in between the two cable ends but the picture wasn't that detailed.

After thinking more about your setup, it seems unlikely that the hoop would ever slide up the return cable so I retract my comment. I will probably do the same.

Ordered my kit and VSS thingy today.
 


No Worries Mate,
Hope all goes well.
