Longer shift linkage/brake rod? Nice looking work, Ed. Might have you make a set of these for my Zook one day, if you ever get up to it! Regards, Banger =======

Cause of death? Failed to put his kickstand up...... Made a left turn and BLAMO!!! Remove the switch if you like, just remember to put that sidestand up before you roll.
