Good day,
i have almost assembled the components to carry out a shift/brake conversion. I want the shift on the left. I have both pedals and trying to replace the floorboard woth something more Guzzi style. Are the parts i have right? Are the board in the right order? Unfortunately I only have one "triple A" board but can fabricate some if needed. Thanks el__burro |

You have the rails swapped in the photo - the rail with the 'board on it is the brake side. Here's a photo of all the bits as original from Triple A (except the shift shaft which is a modified Guzzi part and the shift pedal which has been broken and poorly repaired). http://thisoldtractor.com/mg_photo_archive/footboards/01447.jpg

Floorboard almost completed,

Since those (original) Guzzi pedals were never used on Triple A footboards, you're going to have to make bushings, etc. to use them. Triple A made their own pedals, rods and arms as shown in the photo at the link I posted.

Almost there.. or not..?!
what should be the clearance in cm between the pedal and the floorboard? Is there a way to minimize it? thanks el__burro

That shift pedal isn't from a Loopframe footboard setup originally. You could heat the rear curved section with a torch and bend it up, allowing the pedal to be rotated rearward for more clearance at the front. You linkage needs a bit of adjustment too: the two arms on the stub shaft that goes through the pivot should be at a 90 degree angle relative to one another, instead of the 45? they're at now.

Whith heat..?
wouldn't it break? The linkage is a temporary set up while I check for clearance. Putting it at 90° the inside arm would touch the frame on its way down..(unless I cut the tab to hold the central stand spring) Thanks el__burro
