Almost completed next phase of making the Concours comfortable enough to be usable....that's what I get for buying a hot rod from a younger rider.
Major change may not agree philosophically or cosmetically with some hotshots, but decided to try an ATV bar with a 7 inch rise...at least it's black, and not too much of a pullback. This meant having a second hydraulic clutch line made up by Hose'n'All, and some minor rerouting of throttle lines.
Thought that the solid core ends of the bars would just have to be drilled and tapped to accept the Throttlemeister bar end weights/friction cruise control.....metric bolts, so special size bit (recommended by machininst-type forums) needed..found at CT.....drilled one end out to sufficient depth, cut about 1/4" in (with backing out to clear swarf), and tap broke. According to people with more metal knowledge that I, not a complete disaster, there are bigger-hammer methods of extracting the broken tap, another project later, after I test this setup in actual riding......actually, not bad, just 5" higher than stock, and may be more comfortable on longer ride.
Apologies to Glenn, who was a bit traumatized by the 3" higher setup I used during our Revy/Nakusp tour last weekend, this one is even further from stock.....
Make sure you have all your safety gear on when beating on that tap

I sold it. This one was saved from a trip to the dump ...... it was easy ...... take a free bike from a friend's back yard, buy $5000 in new parts, spend unknown hours in the garage consuming fermented malt products, and there you have it. Then sell it for a loss as you have no room for the one you are buying. A familiar story but one that I have yet to learn from.

If the points are sparking, replace your condenser.

Sheesh Shawn, I saw that you had posted in the "what did you do your motorcycle today"? thread and I thought you were going to say "I added oil to my bike today" Lol...sorry buddy couldn't resist...all in good fun my friend.

Actually, I did add oil to my bike today.
I'm more hardcore than any Harley rider. My bike doesn't drip oil, it burns it!
Who knew 'guzzi made a two-stroke?

Hey Shawn, Stan and I can save our drippings and you can add them to your bike and that way we can all go green.
