Excuse me if I'm off base, but might you reverse to shift link from top to bottom, or vice-versa? Butch

Road,It depends on which shifter Prez has. I have what I think was the race/performance shifter that goes below the derby cover instead of up and over. I have seen a couple of them on E-bay, but I am not sure where else you can pick one up.
Prez if you could post a picture of the shifter you have now it would help.

if you've got the updated shiter (runs uner the derby), just reverse the bit what bolts to the shift shaft (say THAT 5 time fast!)

Prez:
First tried to tweak the stock shifter, but way too many pieces and travel to make it any thing close to precise. Bit the bullet and spent the money on a Banke, different world!

I've also used a Storz lever in conjunction with the old linkage...but the new style run reverse works a bit better.

I had a Hodaka Superat when growing up, the shifts were unreliable. Revved the crap out of that 2 stroke. Seemed to always find a neutral.

Prez, just converted to the updated linkage yesterday, still trying to get the position where I want it....

Anyway, if you want, I can box it up and send it to ya....could use some bushings....

If you want it, lemme know....

Keith,
You should see how the Hodaka shift internals work. Very weird.
They used a spring loaded "slug" on a shaft that pushed ball bearings out into the gears to lock them to the shaft.
It's a wonder you could find gears at all!
It was quite the suprise the first time I opened one up.
I had been used to working on Jap dirt bikes of all varieties and a few Sachs thrown in for good measure.
Totally different.. Kind if cool really....
