Ok now that i have a manual tranny i have to figure out how to get three feet. then i got to thinking and looking at the bike in the shed..and well i am going for it..

and then i realized that i didn't pa my subscription dues.. so i will be linking from car domain

first off i tested the brake lever. a little oversize and didn't like it.

next i tried out the shifter for the rear - cause it had 6 settings on it the front one only had 3 (off and 18 speed i guess).

sorry for the poor pic it got dark out. I decided to leave it on and driver around a few days to see how i like it.

Next back to the bike for more parts. Used a drill and got me a piece to go here.

its mount to the side of there and doesn't move. I was testing movement when i took the pic so thats why there's a wire in there.

now i have to figure out the mounting to the cable i still have a couple of peices from the bike that should work. the wire clamps from the brakes. After that its off to the bike store for a new shifter and a cable.

tell me what you think.

RangerX umm read the TITLE - i said 2nd GEN, you'd better start searching right or i am taking away your keyboard mister.

Stico - i see $5.15 there's a nick and a dime in the holder. I need to get batteries for my old digtal and take another picture. I'll be stoping a a bike shop tomorrow and check out cables and stuff like that.

if you want anymore pics let me know..

total cost of this =

1 bike for parts = free
1 new shifter cable = 1.97 (no tax bought it at the post exchange)
1 shift handle i didn't use = 7.42

= 9.39 so under ten bucks. would have been cheaper if i didn't drop and step on the new shift handle. :rolleyes:

the hard part. drilling a hole in my throttle body linkage.. i measured mark remeasured and marked for about 20 minutes.. worth it tho.

my only duh.. not taking into account the cruise control and having to mod that with a soldering iron. ( just massaged a little bit of plastic)

later.


oh and yes i know my engine is dirty
