Lets keep in mind boys that this is Jerseys topic about HIS improvement to the shifter mod,,, hijacking is frowned upon.  Maybe start another topic if there is interest in discussing other modifications.

Thanks Pancho.  I do enjoy the brainstorming though. While the geometry of the problem is fairly straight forward, the solutions are endless.  The trick is, in my view, to design something that gives the maximum gain but is the least invasive... plus it has to look good!

The pipes and H/T add-ons add some complexity.

To the questions:

-Tutrle254 - The engine/crash bolt does seem to hold the bracket's position very well. In my photo you'll notice the angle of this bracket to the angle of the brace that's attached to the pedel.  The pressure during use doesn't seem to cause the bracket to move much anyway even when the engine bolt is loosened. I think this is why it works well.  Again, cudos to Ammpro's design for initially figuring that out.

-90-degree design - Thought about this, but observed the left (outward) face of the toe lever seems to line up fairly well just behind (to the right of) the left face of the crash bar mounting hole... where the bolt seats.  The complexity of a 90-deg bracket didn't seem worth it, especially when a few washers could be added to the long spacer that goes between the crash bar and the frame.  I was able to add washers to fine-tune the lineup of the bracket and the pedal brace.

Update on Bushing:  I'm going to experiment with a sealed miniature ball bearing (.25"x.5") instead of the sleeve bushing to improve longevity of the design.  it's likely the sleeve bushing will wearout in short order.  Would prefer a design that can survive longer and maybe be forgotten.

Interesting the amount of grey matter being burnt up  uglystupid2 regarding modifying and improving ??? a system that is already proved to be very reliable and trouble free as evidenced by all the thousands of Valkyries with hundreds of thousands of miles logged. Save for a infinitesimal amount of oil seals that need replacing.

Exercising one's brain, especially an old brain like mine, actually enhances its function rather than depleting it.  Go ahead and let us grapple with this issue -- what can it hurt? Cheesy

While it may not be "necessary", the feel of the shifter is improved substantially. If you don't care to do the mod, then don't. I did Ammpro's mod on my 1998 with approx 45K. The seal was not leaking. When I grabbed the shift rod where the lever attaches, I could move it up and down a fair amount. With the mod installed, the lateral play in the rod is gone. Riding the bike back-to-back verified that the shifting is more crisp and feels far more precise. While feel is subjective, measured free play is fact.

If one wishes to make the shifting feel more to their liking, then they should go for it. Motorcycles are built well by Honda, but almost every single owner of every single bike does something to improve or modify it to make it right for them. Seats, handlebars, horns, foot controls, grips, etc. The list is endless. There are plenty of things that I wouldn't do to mine that others have, but I respect their choice to go for it.

Yes Honda's version works.
I fixed mine years ago, because the ease and accuracy that this type of proper engineering gives, along with clutch and throttle coordination makes for a much smoother and quieter shift.
So solving this inapt design is well worth the time.

Here's a video of the design in action.  Still a work in progress, but it really makes an improvement on the shifting being very solid.  You'll notice how little effort it takes to change gears.  I can attest it's much less than I've had to do without this modification.

Yes, you do lose the ability to adjust it, but once adjusted to where the owner wants it there is no reason to change it after that it after that.

That does bring up a good point though. If the shift lever has been rotated from stock location, that can change the design of the modification.

I was thinking that too. So isn't it just that for each different position on the spline you would have different hole locations? I was also wondering if in Jersey's case it's the same spline position as where I've got mine which is essentially dead horizontal (and I have not changed it). His looks to be maybe one spline position off from that. Just curious.

CORRECT.  This is part of the developmental aspect I'm still undergoing.  From what I can tell so far, IF the pedal hole on the bracket is a curved opening rather than a single hole... that might account for variations in different spline setups.  This doesn't account for the extension piece unfortunately.  This is where Ammpro's approach is superior as it allows for the full range of setups (spline placement) that are possible.

I think there's 36T on the Pedal Spline.  For initial design purposes I'm going to assume the extension bracket is set OEM.  Just too much to account for otherwise.  Plus the OEM setting still allows for a wide range of individual adjust of the Pedal anyway.

Assuming the 36teeth spline is correct (anyone want check that??) I'm wondering if say 2 +- offset is sufficient to accommodate in the design?  That's a 40-deg swing to account for individual rider adjustment.

Thoughts??

I wish I knew someone in Cali that could do this to my bike  Cry

Give me a little time to perfect the design and maybe something can be worked out.  cooldude

The primary thing is to get it chromed so it doesn't rust.  That's always a bit of a cost.  Since having it stamped our of 3/16" steel isn't cost effective, there's also a bit of labor to making it so it works and looks good.


oh, I like that idea!  Can you recommend anyone to do this?

You could have each piece, including the holes, laser cut out of polished stainless steel.

I assume you fond someone to do the laser cutting for you.
I do have someone, but i think there should be someone more local.

I've been following your progress. You do fast work !  cooldude Does the elongated hole slot allow for mounting on bikes with the shifter splines not in the original position ? I know I have altered the spline positions on my Interstate with lowered boards.

Appreciate the feedback!  The elongated hole provides a 40-deg sweep, which equals 2 spline settings UP or DOWN from OEM positioning of the Pedal lever on the extension.  Let me know how many teeth you've offset from OEM.  I could easily adjust the design to match.

The problem comes with the bearing location bracket. My location off engine bolt (98 std) is 5/8" c/c of bolt holes. Maybe leave bolt holes off and drill on site of user?

Most people would not be able to drill 304 or 316 stainless steel. The M8x10 mounting hole in the Brace could also be slotted to help in proper pivot location; if there is indeed a difference in location.

Just to understand better.  If you're looking in from the left side of the bike.  The offset of the centerlines of the crash bar M8 Bolt and the Shift Spindle (PN# 24620-MN5-000)... you're saying these are 5/8" offset from each other?

It appears the frame, cross mounting bar, and crash bar are different for the I/S vs Stand/Tourer.  This could cause different offset dimensions between the M8 Crash Bar Bolt and the Transmission Shift Spline. 
Can anyone else with a Stand/Tourer verify what the Offset is between these two bolt centerlines... looking from the left side into the bolts.

Thanks!

This is what I pulled from https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-gl1500cf-valkyrie-interstate-1999-x-usa_model1082/partslist/#.XAMJ82hKiUl.  Seems the 99-01 CF Subframe is unique. the rest of the models/years use the same combo.

1999 CF  SubFrame: 50100MBY000 Left Eng Brace: 50184MZ0000
1999 C    Subframe: 50100MZ0000 Left Eng Brace: 50184MZ0000

1998 CT  Subframe: 50100MZ0000 Left Eng Brace: 50184MZ0000

Can someone with a Standard or Tourer take a measurement of the offset between the centerlines of the M8 crash bar bolt and the Shifting rod on the engine?  See how that compares to the I/S

The engine guards are different, too: 62503-MBY-000 for the CF and 62503-MZ0-000 for the others. The CT guard has an additional brace.
Unfortunately, that area on my bike is unreachable (stored), so maybe someone else can get the measurement? It looks like ~1/2", but that's the best I can do.

I'm guessing turtle254's measurement of 5/8" is about right.

In the parts picture the 50100MBY000 (Frame Body Comp.) has the 50184MZ0000 (Frame Comp, L Sub) bolted to it. The 50184MZ0000 (Frame Comp, L Sub) is the part that the left engine guard mounts to. Its my understanding that some owners of the Interstate have remove there Pods and used engine guards from the other models to do so and C, CT owners have put Pods on using Interstate engine guards. I have not heard or read of any difference, but there is always something more to learn.

I have been following this post but the 5/8" dimension is confusing. What is it a measurement of?
Is it the distance  between the centerline of the rear engine crash bolt and the centerline of the shift shaft where it comes out of the engine?

I believe that the dimensions of all lower frame rails are the same. I also believe that the diminsions of the rear of all crashbars are the same. The only difference between IS and STD/Tourer crashbars are the mounting points for the pods on the IS.

Where does the measurement of 5/8" come from?

Yes. That's what needs to be verified.

Check the earlier posting.  The I/S shows a different Subframe p/n than the Stand/Tourer.  All models use the same left Brace.

One of the other posters said this is what they measured.  So what I'm trying to do is VERIFY what other Stand/Tourer owners find.

thank you but what is it measuring?

The measurement is the centerline offset of the two bolts you described in your first question.
