Adjustable Gear Lever.

[gumpt1oo]

Ever since I have had my Scrambler I have not really been happy with the position of the gear lever.
I have tried adjusting it on the splines, but believe it or not by moving it one spline, it raises/lowers the pedal end by 23mm! There are some after market ones available but they are in the region of £75 for a lever, so I set about making an adjustable one myself.
Here are a couple of shots showing the difference 1 spline makes,



I only wanted to raise the pedal by around 10mm and position it around 5mm further away from the foot peg, so this is what I came up with made from some 25mm x 4.5mm mild steel that I had in the shed.

After a road test trying various positions I painted the metal plate and assembled it using delta adhesive to make sure it stays put!


And this is the finished job, I did 100 miles today and it is now in the perfect position and only cost a couple of hours in the shed!

Well done, sir!

You have now provoked an idea for shifter modification for my gf. She needs the shifter arm shorter, so this may be a viable solution.

Thank you, again!

We really do have some very talented people on this forum, it just goes to show that with a bit of thought you can overcome problems. And as an added bonus it looks good too.
