Brisa Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I quite like that, well done :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Really nice work there :unsure: Looks professional, would be interesting to see how you've attached it to the booster! Have you noticed much difference in terms of flex in your rear brake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Peters Posted March 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 no difference in the brake as its only one small hole and thats filled completely by the shifters bolt. basicall i just cut off the bar mount and just put the bolt through the booster and tightened it up, it took a lot of fiddling to get it to shift still but i cut down the levers as well and it works fine :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I really really like this idea, good work :unsure: Any chance of some close up pics showing exactly how its mounted? Cheers, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Nichols Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I know it's not rocket poindexter... but I'm having problems visualising it. Because obviously he had to hcop some bits of the shifter and find a way of hold it there nicely without the whole shifter pod slipping when he shifts... Just curious and a little confused. Questions are crimes then? So shoot me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Peters Posted March 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Oh yeah i forgot to mention that the shifter was one that had the bolt on top of the bar mount. So when i cut off the bar mount the thread for the bolt was left in the actual shifter body and not in the part i cut off... probably obvious to most but hey...
