Tank shifts are definitely a conversation starter, that's for sure. I just rode 1400+ miles on Route 66 across CA AZ and NM with mine and usually got asked about it whenever I'd stop for gas. People are even more amazed when I pull up with it, and my kid or lady passenger gets off.

Man....Phew.
6-8 weeks.
Cant gimme a photo of what the shifter itself will look like only that it will utilize the horn mount as its pivot and have some bends that will effectively make it more foward....Thats essentially whats keeping me from the Granduer is I want that shifter more foward. I fiddled around with positioning a yard stick where the Granduer would be and didnt like it. (Unless I got it for what you paid then I would love it!!)
I need one mounted more foward...Since reading how Tracer is simply reaching down with his thumb and clicking into gear at times? Fvck that closed the deal!!
Havent pulled the trigger yet.
I may just do a $329 IronTail Jockey(http://irontail.com/jockeyshifters.html) for the summer and dick around with a tank shifter this winter. I get too busy in July. I need it now or way later in the year.
I want to be certain that my exsisting shifter arm is the same size and spline as the shifter as I aint gonna run that lever that comes in the kit. The Labriola dude claims not only will my shift lever bolt up in place of his lever but that his longer peg will also bolt on my lever.
The flamed pegs are long gone and have been replaced with a set of Burled black simple ones. But I want to retain this lever and match with my brake side for sure.
