I bought one of these from Jamie just a week or so ago. Installed and right away I noticed a difference. Nice snug fit, no slop. Double the amount of adjustment. Maybe it's just me but I felt an improvement in my shifting having a shifter that has a positive feedback. I recommend Jamie's shifter as an improvement over stock.

Due to the high volume of suspension orders I don't have these as a stocked item right now. If you would like one please send me an email and I will give you a lead time quote. Thanks!

Gear shift pedal
I've been starting to design and make some stuff for the VTR's recently. On part that has been a disappointment for me is the stock shift lever. Mine got bent just from use, plus I always thought it was kind of sloppy. On top of that I wondered what guys would do if they had really big feet as the lever is none-too-long for my size 10.5 feet. The cost (and limited availability) of complete rearsets made this something I wasn't real interested in either. So.....
I've been running this on my own bike pretty much all summer. I hadn't thrown it out there because I was going to pair it up with a billet brake lever to match on the other side. I'm not sure when I'll get the brake lever prototyped, so there is no sense in waiting around any longer. The cost for one of these is $85 which includes a new rod end to attach to the stock actuating rod. The rubber parts are reused from the stock lever. The part is adjustable in two ways. The length has two settings, one at the standard location and one that is longer. It also has two settings for the actuating rod mounting to adjust the lever throw for shorter or longer shift movements.
Anyone interested should PM me. I've already got a couple made and ready to go. I'm hoping to get enough interest to justify making more. Thanks!
