I've been riding my CB400F to work, which has been converted to race shift (1 up, 5 down). After mis-shifting 47 times, I decided to convert the connie as well so I don't have to remember as much (plus I like race shift better). I have the shifter lever built, but don't know what to cover the end with so it doesn't chew up my boots. I was thinking plasti-dip maybe. Anybody have any experience with this stuff, or maybe a better idea? Thanks.
