WOW This exact issue happened to me 2 weeks ago and spooked me pretty good. I had to Kill it on the highway but to a few seconds to "calmly" figure out what was causing it to go full throttle. (exact position it was when I decided to one itup) And yes the white twisty thing was caught on the rear shock precharge.
I intended to post it on here and im sorry I didnt. Glad all is ok.
Hi sp838,Just seeing this as I haven't been around for a while,PM me as I am still in NY and have done this conversion,albeit the opposite way,S-D plates,and have the proper Guzzi tools for the clutch assembly...

So it is that I'll spend much of the summer in Ohio. So when you get set, ring up and maybe I'll get loose for a ridealong for a while. I have friends in Traverse City I could visit.
I tried to warn you. http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13294&hl=%2Brear+%2Bwheel+%2Bbearings+%2Bmznyc&do=findComment&comment=143425
