Okay, I'll bite. How much machining is required to get the basic kit functioning? I have normal power and hand tools. Drill press, angle grinder, bench grinder, files, etc. Anything needed over and above that and how much time does it normally take for a reasonably mechanically inclined person to do the job?
The linkage looks rock solid so I'm guessing if there's a missed shift, I would have nothing to blame it on but myself?
With the above listed tools you should be golden in under 1.5 hour start to finish including the remove of the left lower cowling to gain better accessibility to the shifter.With the OEM shift linkage I was missing 2nd often. Thought I had tranny problems. With Tony's shift linkage I haven't missed a single shift in 4000 miles!!
As to the latter question you would be correct.... Thing is with the kit properly installed (nearly fool proof) there will be such an improvement over even a fairly new shifter that's in good shape that there will be NO MISSED SHIFTS.....
Will be money well spent I assure you.....
How does this get along with Murph's knee-saver footpeg? (Being lower and maybe a little back from the stock position. )
The distance to the stock shifter is different with Murph's mod and I have to kinda lift my foot to shift-- to up-shift anyway, not so much with down shifting because you use the bottom of yer foot.
TIA, Steve
T Cro, the check is in the mail.........

Money sent by payPal looking forward to trying out your shift linkage

Would you sell me a basic kit that the center hex thing is 1/2" longer than stock? I've converted to race shift and kind of moved things around.
T Cro, is this still the case? Nothing changed since June, basic kits available only?
Thanks,
Tim
