That Jackal is a brute, for sure. But it'll get up and take you places. Congratulations! Just don't get in a race with Harry while he's on that big Ducati. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |
Hey John!
Well I look at it like this. Even a broke down Guzzi is still sat superior than an imaginary Ducatti running in the imagination...

Just don't get in a race with Harry while he's on that big Ducati. I have a Plexistar II on mine. Like it, as far as the wind goes. I'll try to get a picture of me on the bike to give you the relationship between my head and the top of the fairing. The wind doesn't beat me to death. But, it takes some messing with the height and angle of the windscreen. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |

Hey John!

http://www.wildguzzi.com/pics/GuzziJackal.jpg ---- I take that back. Mine doesn't have a solo seat. It it does have the factory 'sport seat' which is stock equipment. There's also gobs of Guzzi forums with classifieds to browse through too. |

That tank looks bigger than the one on my GS and it holds 9.25 gallons |

Yes but I didn't know how much gas you have left after you turn on the reserve, Maybe a gallon and a half? |

Maybe next time I get a couple hundred miles on a tank I'll measure the reserve amount. Be interesting. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |

Yes it would be interesting, but you're tank is totally different than mine. But that's what I liked about the ambassador, it had double fuel peacocks so you could only used a "half tank" at a time. |

I had a dune buggy made on a 58 beetle pan and it had a gas gauge. This was a mechanical deal with a solid steel cable in a spiral jacket. There is a guy selling one on Ebay as we speak. http://tinyurl.com/qz6xure Mine was bad when I got the pan and I could get the cable from JC Whitney. They used to have a lot of Beetle parts in those days. |
