    I picked up a lever out of a bargain bin online. I'm having trouble finding the exact model but this is the description on the email... MCS BRAND GEAR LEVER LONG BENT FITS HONDA/YAMAHA PN FG4
    Item number 131414167420. Does a 13mm spline sound right? I found the spline size somewhere on here a while back. Need to check this.
    It did need a slight bend to shape it properly, but that's easily done. $22 delivered
    Has worked flawlessly for many km now.

    Looks like it's the 11mm spline. (Again, check this because I'm not sure) It's no longer advertised where I got mine. I did find this though...

    Google. Norside.com.au mcs gear shift lever. They have a catalogue pic there. #FG4

    Here's a shot of the MSR shift lever. I did do some custom bending, but not a whole lot. Part of that was to align with the SW-Motech pegs I have and get the position I wanted.

    looks pretty bloody good! Is it this one http://mesg.ebay.com/mesgweb/ViewMessageDetail/1/81674533098 before you put the bends in it?

    Just a quick suggestion. I bought the universal yamaha shifting lever from german louis webshop.
    Was 10€ and fits perfectly after slightly bending it (steel).
    And yes, it's foldable.

    yes it is.

    Sure, you won't get the shiny aluminium stuff with anodized finish, but I like a steel one more for durability.

    When I was looking for a shifter I heard that one from a YZ250 would fit.

    I was looking to fit some larger MX boots so to that end I bought a Hammerhead folding tip shifter since you can add "longer" shifter tips. The Hammerhead "fit" but required a good bit of banging with a hammer to achieve the fit I was looking for. Now the tip is angled instead of straight but since it is a folding tip I can mod it to be straight by using some of the folding travel.
