It would be super trick to set it up with a different linkage and run the shifter just like the old tank shift bikes. Less chance of snapping off the shifter shaft if you ever have a accident. I have been modifying bikes for years with that as a primary concern. If I get loaded and wreck, I want the best chance of getting up and riding away after. It's happened a few times and I was lucky I could just wrap the road rash and still get home without a tow truck 👍

Just watched all your videos on this and they’ve been a big help. Really want to do one for my shadow but no one makes a kit.

I'm going to leave my clutch lever where it is and fab a tank type shift on the right so you come off the throttle to shift like ol indian chiefs

At least, make a paralel footclutch or extra handclutch, so you can steer with both hands. Still the most dangerous and useless mod you can do on a bike. All that lever comes directly on the axl and bearing. Imagen what force you put on the shifting system. I guess that this was just one day "fun"?
