The manufacturer is called ES. It was fitted on a 2kf.
So it should fit my bike. Problem could be clearance with the tire.
...and the gaiters will be in the way. It is a test and maybe worth the try.

Ps: oh, from ebay ofcourse.

I got the frame back from the powdercoater.
It´s not 3020 as mentioned on here.
It´s 3001 which I have also on my TT. A bit darker.
The powdercoater did it .... on private basis... so I hadn´t the choice.
But I am very happy with it.
I also gave him a TT engineprotection as a spare for me. ( Or sell it later)
The other engineprotector is (as mentioned earlier) from a 2KF.
I hope to improve the enginecooling by using this part.

Oh , yeah, the indicatorholdingthingy got red instead of black.
Why is it there is allways going something wrong?
Ofcourse it will be black when back on the bike.
And for the future:

..... and I chased one of these:

Must be an early 34L part. Because there is no killswitch on it.
Nice!
I want to make everything a bit cleaner.
especially the electric.
The revcounter will be gone also.
The Oilcooler is allready gone.

Make it simple !
O.

Edit says: I just found out the 1vj has got this kind of throttle.... rats! ;-)

Yeah Mez, I just saw the 1vj part on Ebay.... I hope it will accept the cables from the 34L
... no it will not fit.
Now as I see your parts.... I remember the 34l cables are special...

Yes originally the 34L cables had plastic part that fitted in the hole (very fragile) & the replacement cables now has metal bend so it will not snap off.

So.....
She is back on her feet again.
My VW Bus needed some work so there was a little delay.... I remember the Bus did that also when I was at the TT. Hmmmm.... a little bit jealous?
Here is the status:

And this is what I´m doing right now:
From grey to white with a knife

Image

The surounding is allready scraped.
Some projects are stopped or I found out it won´t work.
As there is the forkbrace. It would fit if I would kick off the gaiters. (which I don´t want)
The throttle will be untouched. I leave it that way. It´s 34L- ish.
Cheers for now. I have got a date with a knife.
