Always said there was one thing missing to make my connie a truely perfect bike. Thanks to @JustinNck1 for giving me the connection on a half priced unit. All wired up and plumbed in just waitingfor a coil pulse adapter to come in the mail. Got about  $110 invested in it.

what number you going with?

[max power]

Did the sprocket change (15 to 14 and thicker to save spline), desmog, Dave's carb mods, went up from 50/152 to 55/158 jets and desnorkled.  Also no chance to test ride due to monsoon season.

Will start without choke. May have to drop down a step.

You have more electronic bullshit on that bike than a goldwing.  Maybe you should just buy a convertible

The angle on that cable looks pretty fucked up. Can you rotate that bracket up a bit so it is more of a straight shot?

Still less electronic bullshit than modern sportbikes...

Not really.  I tried the bolt just to the left of where it is now and it allowed it to have a snag or hang up that could result in the throttle sticking. It's actually pretty stout where it's at. That grey wire harness with the black zip tie and metal bracket hangs in front of all that that and reality supports everythibg as well. Ill click another picture of it tomorrow all cleaned up and supported.

From the pic it looks like the cable is pointed to the left....so the cable is coming out of the housing at an angle, instead of a straight shot out the end of the housing to the throttle connection. It looks like the 

 

I am looking at that pivot point in the bracket, near the bottom. If that was loosened and then you took the left side of that bracket and pushed it up it might line up better.

Could just be shitty photography.

The cable does run a tad at a angle from the bracket to the TB linkage at closed throttle.but at WOT it is perfectly straitup and down. The ball on the TB linkage travels down and to the left. Not a perfect sinario bit the best it can get with out risk of a bind. There isn't enough room to angle it perfectly and the cable from the servo would have a really tight bend if tried to run it a different way. I think with my final product I did rotate it a few degrees clockwise to make it slightly less of a angle vs that picture.

The number 802 was simply the next free number IEEE could assign, though “802” is sometimes associated with the date the first meeting was held — February 1980

@what is that where it came from?  Nerrrrrrrd.
