Default Re: What have you tinkered with today?

The gear change on my VFR. I run an upside down race pattern shift which is normally just a case of turning the crank on the gear shaft over, however the VFR doesn't have any linkage as the shift lever comes straight off the shaft as on a dirt bike. It's been bugging me for ages so today I finally got round to making a backing plate to sit behind the foot peg onto which I mounted a lever and then made up all the associated linkage. A proper raid of my parts bin using pieces from Suzuki, Yamaha and Honda! A proper result though so no more pulling up to the lights in 6th.......
