Hammerhead Shifter Tips Tip

[Trenchcoat85]

hah.
Anyways, there is a seller on ebay with +10mm hammerhead shifter tips ($5.99 shipped, but they oscillate the prices a lot... I offered $3.99 when they went up to $9.99 and they didn't counter-offer).

these are not anodized and do not have any hardware. but if you wanna rig something up to your stock shifter, like me, then 6 bux is worth the experiment. I got a clevis and a snap ring from the hardware store, & hopefully I can rig the stock torsion spring; else I gotta modify some other spring. I actually was looking for +15mm or +20mm (size 14 boots here- the stock husky shifters are a minor drag).

if you're reading this years from now, here's what you missed:

Did you order one? Thats a hell of a deal to upgrade the pathetically short factory shifter. I wear a size 10 and it's a pain in the butt. It's kind of sad that I can shift my little crf100 easier with my boots on than my Husky!

yeah, I got one a couple of weeks ago- guess I didn't state that explicitly.



actually, just yesterday I started my gear shifter project (I work slow; also I have a few projects going all the time): I bought a roll pin and a clevis to use as the pivot, and some circlips and e-clips too. It looks like the clevis is going to work out- here's the results after coming off my "lathe" (um, rechargeable drill) and adding an e-clip:






I'll probably slap on my after-market shifter next week or so, while I modify the stock shifter to take the longer shifter tip. Might even offset it up when I mount it to give me some additional room.

How does it go with width(gap) as mine I had to shim with washers which eventually chew into the ally then the tip got loose/sloppy. 100 odd hours tho

well, I haven't reached that stage yet (toldja I was slow) but I imagine I'm gonna have the same issues. I'll put the shims/spacers to raise the shifter tip higher, too.

Yeah that wat I did.

That's a damn good find! I know what my next project shall be. Thanks.
