Completed the mods of the BBT fwd controls to make them work with my high mileage Deerslayer. With the internal shifter linkage worn, it would not tolerate slop or a lot of friction of the BBT linkage. After anchoring the end of the shifter shaft with a Heim joint, I still could not get a reliable shift, with many attempts at adjusting the position of the foot pedal arm, as well as it's leverage and throw length. I finally gave up and acknowledged I would have to do it right and install Heim joints on the pivot positions to eliminate slop and friction. After accepting that, it actually went pretty quick and now it shifts with very little friction, resets right away as it should, and is easily adjustable with wrenches - w/o grinding off a weld and breaking it with a hammer and drift, repositioning and rewelding. IOW - I can adjust it on the road with wrenches not a metal shop.
Here's the final version. Note the lever arm from the pedal is lengthened, the intermediate rod is replaced with a 1/2" square tube with Heim joints (left and right threads) both ends, and the fab'd brace for the end of the shifter shaft with Heim joint behind it. That brace, and the welding to the shifter shaft, both had to be beefed up with a lot of metal weld - they are much stronger now than on v. 1.0. Note also, the footpegs are both lengthened. Didn't paint or powdercoat them yet.

Here's the beefier welds on the shifter shaft:

And the shifter shaft assembly:
