Nice Did you fab that? | ||||
| Lakes |
If you made it, very nice. What I would like is a two bolt support bracket as I feel the single bolt under too much load | ||||
| Gmaan03 |
Yes i dumped my bike and messed up the stock shifter. So i copied it and made it better. I changed the fulcrum point on the linkage end , shortened it up a little to help shifting effort. Bronze bushing pressed in and a new steel shaft. If shifts like silk. The out side fillets are 3d milled. | ||||

Ok, how much for me to get one ??? nice. | ||||
| Gmaan03 |

Great job. | ||||

Lovely! As pretty as the piece you made is, if it were me, I'd get rid of that hex head bolt and use some kind of button screw or cap screw. | ||||
| Rsm688 |
Looks nice, x2 what reepichepp said, get you a Button Head Cap Screw, will look much nicer and cleaner. Your local Fastenal store can order you one in whatever thread/length you need as most stores probably wont have that length in stock -spencer- | ||||

Stock bolt is a hex head cap screw like pictured. It works. | ||||

What I would like is a splined shift that just comes from the splined shift shaft as I run mine gp style like it better, & would be much more direct without all the linkages . | ||||

Nice work i love when people think and fab their own. why pay way too much for crap!! even though i did when my buddy crashed mine  | ||||
| Gmaan03 |
Do you mind me asking how much you paid for the stock shifter? | ||||
| Jayvee |
What I want to do, is a folding shifter peg. Can't be that hard to make? | ||||

Looks nice, well done, thanks for sharing! Reep & Rsm, I tried finding a button head or something of the sort for mine a few months back, though i didn't have the patience or presence of mind (seems like I was in a hurry at the time) to ask if they could order one, the HD dealer and the Bolt & Nut supply didn't have anything for it in stock.

Yes it is. Long screw. | ||||

The upgrade (01+) shifter as a kit was about $125 last I recall. But it's been a while since I put that part on my bike. | ||||
| Mtjm2 |
Gmaan, Why don't you make a run of parts and offer as a group buy ? Its just as easy to make 20 or 10 as it is 1. Just a thought. | ||||

I purchased the update kit last winter bought the last one American Sport Bike had they are rare now. I paid 225 for the kit which included everything for the shift side | ||||
| Littlebuggles |
Wow, two and quarter, wonder if Harley doubled the price a couple years ago like they did the clear lensed incandescent XB turn signals (the '09 tripled in price). In my experience Al hasn't marked up Buell dealer type stock. | ||||
| Gmaan03 |
I am planning on selling the three sets for guys to try and thrash. If they hold up ill make more. | ||||

How about a nice CNC boomarang shifter? Now that I'll buy. | ||||
| Gmaan03 |
Ill work on that when I have some spare time | ||||
| Coxster |
Dittos on the boomerang. Wanting that RS1200 look. I keep telling the boss at work we need a mill ; ) | ||||
| Gmaan03 |
Can some one make me a crude sketch of the boomerang shifter? I need a simple drawing on a piece of paper with dimensions. Scan it and post it. What I need: pivot hole diameter. Pivot shaft diameter. distance from pivot hole to top linkage hole. distance from pivot hole to bottom linkage hole. Offset values. Thanks | ||||

I cut up my stock shifter and welded it back together. then pressed in a bearing.  | ||||

I can send you a full set up of a stock boomerang shifter or I can send you a full set up of the stuff James Banke used to make. let me know if you want to borrow either. both are sitting on the work bench so I dont have to do any work to pull them off the bike. let me know if you want to borrow them for measurements and how soon... shoot me PM if I dont respond here quickly.... |
