I agree , giving the edge to the dual cable setup .

Hey Tom,

I like them both. My Ambassador has the stock splitter and the Eldorado
the
twin cable.
On the one hand the single cable to the splitter gives a clean look to
the
bike. The grip assy is smaller as well adding to the minimal look.
On the other hand the Daytona twin cable is more functional in that it
has
a wide range of adjustment. Not just cable length but total pull length
and
a handy thumb screw for the tensioner.
In the end the Tomaselli Daytona is the one I prefer as it is simple,
will
remain easy to pull for a long time and when one cable breaks you aren't

completely out of luck.
The splitter on the stock setup will bind and cause arm fatigue. And
then
there is the single cable breakage scenario. Been there, done that.

Have a happy,

Hunter

 Hi all,

I want to get some opinions on this. I have several Guzzis now(even sold
two (to Mark @MGC) Some of the bikes have a single throttle cable going
down to the splitter deal under the frame. Some have two throttle
cables. I think thew two cable throttles are tomaselli(sp).

Which do you prefer on your Ambo/Eldo and why?

Thanks for your input.
