Very fast and easy. Well, was fast because I happen to have a drill press, highly recommended for that hole that has to be drilled. That shifter is SECURE now only moves in the direction its supposed to. Ill bet the oil seal never wears out now. Thanks Jersey  |

Yep. Looks good. I'd buy one if I hadn't already done this on Jade & Deerslayer. Come to think of it, George could use one. Hmm.

Thanks! ChrisJ Appreciate the feedback.
For those who are wondering about why there's a slot. This is for two reasons.
1. Slight variances in exactly where the hole is drilled in the side of the shift lever.
2. To allow for 1-spline setting up or down from factory installation.
Something to also keep in mind. The main post that the shift lever slides onto is installed onto another spline near the transmission case. This can also be offset a notch... so there's quite a bit of adjustment available.

As already stated, the slot allows adjustment. Theoretically, the Jersey Bracket is suppose to line up with the gearshift spindle's axis. albeit, at that coordinate, the gearshift spindle's axis is an imaginary line. The design of the bracket does most of the work for you. Just fine tunning it a little.  |

Just did a good shake down test ride. Shifting is more positive. Crisp. But I like how easy it makes it to find neutral. All in all smart little mod. Bike shifts like a newer bike and that’s a good thing

Took measurements of the Spindle and Shift Lever to get the exact offset, spline angles, frame mounting, etc. to identify how much slot angle was needed for ample adjustment... without making it too big. |

Very fast and easy. Well, was fast because I happen to have a drill press, highly recommended for that hole that has to be drilled. That shifter is SECURE now only moves in the direction its supposed to. Ill bet the oil seal never wears out now. Thanks Jersey Dayum your bike is clean! Do you ever ride? Just kiddin. Seriously though watcha doin, pressure washin? I have a Honda pressure washer - brand new and a year old, never used yet. The first one failed, took it back to Costco, they replaced, and I said I'm savin this one until I really need to wash something. Afraid to squirt that hard on the bike, gonna mess it up seals and such. |

I know that’s not a heck of a lot per year, but I do what I can. I have washed it with a hose less than 10 times. Mostly I use mean green and spray wax and wet towels |

I installed mine a week ago. Took about an hour (no drill press here). Very easy. Instructions are complete and easy to follow. Attention to detail is obvious, an example being the little notch that guides the marker used to help figure out where to drill the hole. Shifting seems only a bit cleaner, but the lady is young at 40K. That said, I bet I'll never need an oil seal either. No pix because there's no way my bike is that clean.

How do I obtain one of these shifter braces? My 1997 Standard just turned over 70K miles. I haven't had any issues with the shift lever thus far and would like to keep it that way.

got mine installed yesterday with a rattlebars heel to toe shifter.
took some figuring whether i wanted to shim the heel shifter way out or install it behind.
i opted to install the heel to toe shifter behind the main shifter.
since i have an aftermarket shift peg on it was easy.
used a couple of big thin washers and a plastic bushing for the shifter to ride on.
works like a charm.
i'll take pics tonight and post them to this reply.
well i thought i was going to have pics for everyone. but my phone won't link to my pc tonight for some reason.
so i'll have to charge my digital camera up and take some this weekend.
it's 32 degrees in my shed right now. and thats with the heat running.

Please!! Send some pictures when you get a chance. I've had a few ask about using the Jersey Bracket with the H/T shifters. If I can, I'll make some adjustments for that option to be seemless. BTW. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for all the great feedback. I really enjoy making things that improve the operation. LOOK for MORE things in the future!! |

i don't see where your going to be able to make any adjustments for it to work on your end..
because to 2 end up coliding and binding togather.
but there is a way around it. but the person installing it is going to have to make the changes.
i'll post pics this weekend.

hav'nt had a chance to ride yet, but the ease of installation of the shifter mod is great. as far as shifting it from sitting still with and without the engine running has greatly improved.
for the past couple of years, trying to find neutral has become a feat in itself.
i'm interested in seeing if my transmission will continue to jump out of first gear if i don't slam it in.
also going from first to second, if i did'nt slam it, it would jump out of second.
hopefully that greatly improves to.
my hats off to jersey for coming up with a well made product

Finally got to ride the bike to check out the Shifter Mod. As I said before, installation was easy and it is a well thought out product. I am really impressed in the difference it made in shifting. Shifting is solid and almost silent. It is actually making the gear change quieter. Never really had a problem finding neutral but it is even easier now. I am impressed! Good job Jersey! By the way, that is a leaf by the jack stand, not a dead mouse!  |

By the way, that is a leaf by the jack stand, not a dead mouse! I got my first ride in with the mod today, and agree with all of this. My bike is about to reach 50k miles, so the shifter wasn't that loose, but I can feel the lack of wobble in the end of the shift arm. I mostly had issues with neutral on really hot days, but if the improvement there is as good as it is to basic shifting, this is money well spent. |

It's $70 and can be purchased at jerseyMCproducts.comThe Jersey Bracket is designed for the OEM Valkyrie Shifter. So I can't really say how it would fit any others. |

Not without some mod(s) but this may be trivial with some metalworking tools. Here's the original Ammpro shifter mod, Jersey's mod is based on, modified slightly to work with BBT fwd controls. There's a nut welded onto the outer face of the BBT shift lever clamp, coaxially to the shifter shaft, for the allen-headed bolt to screw into. Doesn't actually need much tightening for the Ammpro plate to be fixed to the BBT clamp. Looks like you would need to provide clearance some way for the aft end of the Jersey arm, where it would collide with the clamp bolts. Note my BBT install is also modified a bit to improve it - note the intermediate connecting link with Heim joints on the ends. Makes adjustment easier and more solid:  Compare that pic to Indybobm's pic from above: |

Thanks MarkT... that's a great comparison. The only thing I could see is in having some replacement pieces laser cut to get rid of the corners on the support braces.

I installed mine earlier this year. I had a hell of a time with bolting back the frame/engine guard assembly and getting the shims straight. I swapped back to my truck stack pipes and didn't bother till today to reinstall it. This time, I loosened the other 2 guard bolts as well. MUCH easier! and getting the alignment was more straight forward. Shifting was positive and smoother. I didn't have any issues after I did it the "smart" way!

Glad you got it on! I installed a number of these at Inzane Taos and found the engines guards 'generally' didn't cause an issue... However, there were a few that needed a little extra push to realign. One did require loosening up a few other bolts to get it going. Real glad you are getting good results! |

This shifter mod drives me nuts. I installed it a few months back and its driving me crazy. It used to be that I could hit Neutral on a whim even when I didn't want to. Now the cursed thing shifts so smoothly I keep going right through Neutral. Super hard to get used to  |
