My parts are starting to look like a motorcycle again. I still have to install a new air filter, check the petcock, change the alternator and some other stuff, so I'm not done yet...  When we were in New Mexico, Punisher got a handful of these things from SCain, and he gave me one...  There's a youtube install video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVOpn33-r-8It seemed like it didn't do anything at all (the shifter was still floppy) until I tightened the set screw, then the floppiness disappeared. I wish I knew why there are two threaded set screw holes, and only one set screw? The phillips screw is smaller than the threaded hole and is just stuck in there with a little clear RTV... -Mike |

My understanding it only had two on the first run due to the wrong placement. Therefore it is simply a conversation piece.

I guess that makes sense... at the Hillman places, there were some set screws, I think I'll look for one that fits, it is just a hole now... -Mike "a little L-shaped allen wrench can reach either one..." |

Hi Mike,
The video you linked to shows the Jersey bracket, but what's in your picture looks like something else.

Fixed  thanks! Jersey was next, it must have started by the time I cut and pasted the link... -Mike |

I have this bracket n two bikes and it definitely works as advertised. Takes about 5 minutes to install and all the slop is gone.

I'm sorry to hear that. I know I am kind of skirting the no advertising thing. But if hypothetically he were to have a couple, I would relieve him of those. (Work sucks !) |

Skirting is an interesting assessment but you are certainly not alone on this subject.

We encourage product reviews and opinions.It will be a few more days before I'll be riding my bike, but so far my opinion is that this thing seems to take some slop out. I have forward controls, it fits on with them. I've never had a complaint about shifting, and at 98,500 I've only replaced the shifter seal once... I didn't plan on buying one of these from any vendor, but this one was given to me. undermine our paying sponsors. We're lucky to have them, I wouldn't want to undermine them... -Mike |

I use to have a little trouble finding neutral and with this no problem and bike seems to shift so much better. David  |
