Tail gap! HUGE!

Cool shadow pic

Grand Dragon Gear rearset prototype - left side - needs a different shift lever (remember, it's a -prototype!-)

Right rearset - just needed a couple washers to get it outwards

Any idea where I can get something to connect these two?

or, do it Zuki style, much easier:

OR, make it yourself:

1. get a piece of strapping about 1.5" long X 0.5"
2. Bend into a U..to be upside down.
3. Drill hole in "bottom" of U for master rod to go through.
4. Put nut on top and bottom of rod, lock onto U.
((probably an M6))
5. Drill hole through sides of U.
6. Put end of lever between side of U
7. Insert pin through everything.

See easy.

You ask how to do something...I try to help you. What is the problem?

 

[dogbreath]

Uh...what?

 

[DougZ]

Nevermind, wasn't sure what you meant by that.

 

[dogbreath]

I meant hardware stores are great for bike building.

OK, I am outta my mind...LOL...don't mind me.

Stock part won't work so I'm going to use an L-bracket.

Got an upper, windscreen, and shift levers on order...
gotta get a banjo bolt and a resevoir hose for the front master...
gotta mount the plate...
tires...
gotta find a fairing stay! Anyone got one?

 

[Candyman]

I got a few spare banjo's but for what the time/trouble it would be to ship it to ya it'd be faster to grab one at your local shop. If by chance they don't have one in stock let me know.

 

[dogbreath]

Don't worry about it.

I'm gonna find a couple combination banjo bolt/pressure switch things because neither of my brakes has a light switch and I just recently decided I was gonna make it streetable for some stupid reason.

I've signed up for Shift Levers Anonymous

The root of the problem, the stock lever is bent out to avoid the frame.

It's shiftable!
If I push in on the shift rod, the linkage comes out and you have to yank it back out to shift, something Adam did. I'll fix that this winter.

Upper and windscreen.

Big box of bolts and shit I got for $20
