I had to click on the picture on their website, which made it big and the rest of their site dark.
Then I right-clicked (PC) on the picture, and selected "Copy image location" (Firefox), and then pasted that in between the [img] code.
Code: Select all

Bring up a pic in your web album like this:
http://picasaweb.google.com/GargandMarn ... 2831894818
Then click on the "Link to this Photo" about mid page on the right and you will see a link adress and embeded image adress.
Below that a drop box that syas Thumbnail. Drop it down and choose medium, and then choose "Image only (no link)".
Then select all, and copy the adress in the "imbedded image" box.
Back here at Boxerworks Click on the Img button while creating a message and paste the adress from Picasa between the img /img and you should see your pic when you hit preview.
Like this.

I don't know how fancy you want to get with that but what came to mind for me is to check out a mountain bike with "Rapid Fire" shifting. There is a thumb lever below the handle bar and a trigger for the index finger. It may open up an idea for a perfect mounting position.

Garnet, where did you source that engine top cover?

Tim, that cover came from a cool builder in France. He built aluminum cafe tanks and seats as well as lots of other neat things like that starter cover for BMWs and Hinkley Bonneys.
I just tried his site and then a bit of googling and it looks like he's out of busienes.
Atelier Motrne was the business name and his name was Xavier Parent.
I hope he resurfaces as he had some real neat stuff, although it was exensive.

Yes, that is how my mountain bike shifts...good idea. The index finger below the bar would be ideal...I will check it out. I am a suspicion that the mount would hit my tank at full turn to lock...as my cruise control screw did (I removed it). But, I will check it out. Thanks for the creative thinking.

I think a mirror bolt from a r11gs will work...
