anyone running a right side shifter of any kind ?

 

Many moons ago I had a riding buddy that lost his left leg in a bike accident. I remember he had his next Harley modified to right side shift but too many brain cells ago to give you any details. A creative Indy could probably do it pretty much on the cheap.

 

Had an olde 66 XLR and a friend with a 67 XLCH, both were factory Right shift/Left brake I don't know why or when the MOCO changed

 

Not knowing the reason why you ask.
Other than a historic Harley originally built w/ right side shifter....

Maybe you could fabricate linkage. Would require welding brackets to the frame I would suggest. And be aware if the linkage was run under the engine, the linkage would be susceptible to damage from speed bumps and all.

I believe classic Norton Commandos are right side shift.

I for one would like to know your plans.

 

All English bikes and Sportsters were right hand shift till the mid 70's. Jap and big twins were left hand. Federal regs mandated that ALL bikes go to left hand shift in the late 70's, forget the year.

 

Working on a bobber project with a 69 motor that is right side shift. That's gonna take some getting used to. Does the clutch lever go on the right too?

 

Fabricate one or you could just buy one if you will settle for a jockey type shifter

For an experienced rider it takes about 2 minutes to adapt to a RH shift bike. I have a 70 XLH which is RH and a 13 that is LH shift. I can jump off one and get on the other with no issues whatsoever.

 

I almost agree with this, except it does not take that long. Used to jump back and forth between my Bonneville and Panhead without even a thought.

 

Nope, Clutch lever is still left side,
Actually the adapt is/was pretty easy,, you'll forget a time or two and drop a gear instead of braking,,
