I used a metal bracket to securely anchor it to the cylinder.

It is not very difficult to do. Just make sure that you have a maintance manual and the right tools. All together it took me about 8 hours total.

You can remove the original shift shaft lever without removing the primary. Use a hacksaw blade and tape each end with duct tape, leaving about two inches exposed in the middle. Also put some duct tape on the primary and cylinder cooling fins. Tape a wrench onone end to get a better grip (on the end of the bladeso as you pull on the wrench you will be on the cutting stroke of the blade). Slip the blade between the primary and engine from the bottom of the bike with the wrench end on the bottom, grab the wrench end and guide the top of the blade with your other hand.I cut about three quarters thru then wrapped a rag around the shift lever and used vise grips on the other end of the shaft splines and sheared it off.
