        Gear position indicator. Spring and pin fits into shift drum under LH rear engine cover. Pay me!

            Gear shifting contact pin. Sits on the end of the gear shifting cam. Was in Amsterdam a couple of years ago - great place, except for all the Brits on those damn peddle pubs!

            edit... too slow again....

              One of these things?
              As more beer gets consumed, the slower they get, I suppose.

                  Yeah, that's it... Pedal Pub. The driver is the only one sober, so they can navigate the traffic/bridges/canals kinda safely, but the drunken passengers control the speed... you can imagine how that goes....

                    How does that work? Are they the ones doing the pedaling?

                        And the winner for the first correct answer and description is Ed.
                        The extra prize for the good photo goes to Rich.
                        Pedal bars are banned in parts of Amsterdam (downtown) because of urinating in public,
                        public drunkenness and blocking bicycle paths.

                        That last fact causes most complaints ;-)
                        Under no circumstances should both hands be removed from handlebars.
