Having a cable trunnion on the throttle cable on that end is weird. I've never seen that before.

Wouldn't that go at the carb end and not in the hole of the throttle pulley? I've always only seen a round cast head with the cable end embedded in it.

With the cast cable, you can't cut to length (well you can, but it's a bit of work…) With the cable in your image, the inner and outer are fixed pretty much. With the trunnion, some folks solder the cable too for extra strength. |

Interesting. On my small frame, I use a gear cable with a small trunnion at the carb. The cast end goes in the pulley hole in the headset.
The GS/SS are fixed length inner and outer with a larger cast end for the pulley and a small cast end for the carb end. |

I use a pinch nut in the same basic setup, but with a larger pulley on both my smallie and my GL. You need the larger radius to get enough throw for the big carbs, and as others noted, it's the only way to get any meaningful adjustment.
Also, on the largeframe, it's an extra-long throttle cable so it'll reach. |

I just prefer to use the cables that have a cast small nipple on the carb side. On a smallie SHB it's ok to use big clamp nipple, but on "real" carbs there is no room for it.
But boy oh boy. Goodies are finally here Crank and something to mount on both ends. ![]()

Meanwhile on the budget 200 side. Got the Polinibox to replace the stock one.
![]() Is it just me and my old Malossi that has the exhaust stub slightly angled more towards outside or is it a common thing? ![]() Even pushing by hand is not enough to line up the mounting holes. ![]() Introduced the exhaust to my angle grinder and took a wedge out to get the box high enough. Now it's just matter of welding it back together. ![]() I'll likely have to also fit a slimmer spring for the cemter stand return... |

Spring is not the only problem. The support of center stand is also fouling on the exhaust. Maybe it's just time to order that side stand.
![]() Put on couple tacks, removed and laid some bead to fill the cut. Threw the box back in and checked that there is no tension before tightening the clamp. ![]()

That's just the thing I had in my mind. It's kinda bad place to just float around since sand will get between plate and the frame. Along vibration it will rub off the paint and recipe for rust is ready.
Center stand is essential for looks but I think I'm starting to lean towards a side stand. Pun intended |

Since the ready re-location plates seem to be kind of half-ready products, I found the motivation to fab my own. Found a nice little profile plate from my scrap metal pin that originates from a CT device cabinet where it was used to mount an UPS.
