This is a test of photo posting...(http://)

Sorry - I've posted photos from Photobucket here before, but can't recall how...

The post in FAQS is no help - Photobucket doesn't look anything like what is shown.

You need to add a link in between the image tags. In your first post there is no link.

Click 'remove' to the right of your post, but you can't delete the thread.  [bang]

Three lines top left corner of the picture -> Share -> click on "Direct" (=auto copy)

Paste between the tabs which appear when you click the image/scenery button here.

Thanks all!   [roll]  That's the after photo - here's the before:

I had asked in a previous post about the Panigale switchgear...

...and when that seemed like more trouble and expense than I was up for, I looked for an alternative.  Didn't have to look too far, as I have an SV650 which has these switches, and a few measurements confirmed that they would give me the better turning radius I was after, and the better looks too.  Found a nice clean set on ebuy for $35 and was able to solder them to the M695 wires without melting anything. (This required a few beers.) The Mster had a separate throttle with larger diameter cable pulleys and the SV is a one piece throttle/switch module...

...so I found a throttle body pulley of the matching 34mm diameter (most are this diameter - don't know what this one came from) and adapted it.  I made this simple bracket to mount the shortened SV throttle cable:

I was able to eliminate the fast idle cable and it's bracket because with the FatDuc oxygen sensor manipulator there's no need - it idles and runs fine when cold.  

Look to the right of the post. You can modify, or remove

Thanks.  I knew that - I was just hoping you'd answer so I could see the photo of the blonde babe again.   :-*

 :D

Why would my photos be gone?  There are only boxes with a question mark in a blue square...

Photobucket does maintenance from time to time and pics will disappear then return.

I see - thanks again.  A guy can learn a lot on this forum - even if it's not about motorcycles.
Apparently nobody cares about my switches anyway... :(

As long as you didn't delete them from your album, they should regenerate. Oh and it doesn't matter if anyone other than you like them or not.  ;)

Actually, they are pretty snappy looking... nice job, particularly with the cable fab at the throttle body.  I always liked my Honda switches, but it's a nogo with my 796 because of the data toggle.
