On the "05 Night Train project list is a LaBriola shifter. Question:
I would like to use my [I]sentimental[I]Hurst shift **** from my high school '68 Camaro. It's the white ball (you've seen them), kind of heavy, at least it seems that way compared to the size of the (tiny) shifter arm on the 5 speed trans. I've heard of heavy shift ***** bouncing and causing problems. I would rather avoid the tank shifter as I already have one on another bike and I think the jockey is just cool. Thoughts?
P.S. Anyone have any experience with the Baker N1 shift drum? Will the neutral ling still work?
Thanks
Lance

OK, I just installed a LaBriola foot clutch set up on my '05 Night Train yesterday. Looks like a quality unit. I am noticing that it shifts pretty hard. Clunks and all that, as if the clutch isn't releasing all the way. Checked adjustment, a little free play etc., it all looks good. Used HD Fluid this time. (I can't remember what was in there before) I'm scratching my head to think of why it is more difficult to shift.
Also, should I be concerned about the lack of a stop at the bottom of the foot clutch travel? or just be careful not to push too hard?
Thanks

I have my foot clutch set so that it takes a minimal amount of foot motion to let it all the way out. I find this make staking off quicker. Muy tank shifter has a grease zerk on it that I keep well lubed. It may sound clunkier than the foot shifter as I have much more mechanism, but nothing I ever thought was noticeable. Did you get a Jockey shift?
