woohoo at last ,some piccies. looking good m8

Looks real nice!

Just wondering if you have any close up pictures of the paddle shift mechanism being put together?

How does the clamp attach to the steering column? And the pivot points to the paddle?

How much was the white face for the standard R1 clocks? Where'd you get them from?

Sorry for all the questions!

Chris.

cheers rich-OX.

Dave Widowmaker is a great name its a nickname from a Bike Suzuki made in the 90's that was so fierce it threw bikers off who didnt treat the throttle properly (Im not married)

and believe me when its got a holeshot racing turbo strapped to the side its gonna be fierce



Chris you need 6 rose joints
1 goes off the gear lever then some 8mm threaded bar goes to another rose joint, which is the one at the bottom of of the lever.(This is a rear brake lever of an aprilia rs250) with the braket/bush so it moves up and down like a see saw which is where its bolted to the engine cradle bolt.

then the rose joint on the other side of the lever the top left one a bar goes from here through the dash(you can now push pull this to change gear!)

you make a paddle shift out of alloy which bolts to the two rose joints on the steering wheel clamp this can then paddle from side to side, then you connect your bar coming through the dash to an L bracket on the back of the paddle usinga rose joint and hey presto one gear change

can I breathe now
