Default Need some help...

Anyone know where to get ahold of a vintage tank shifter kit? I found a new tank that accomodates the shifter, just need to locate the parts....

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you looking for a specific style, or just a jockey shift. You can make your own jockey shift foot clutch.

No i need the tank-mounted shift kit.

Licks has a tank for sportys that accepts it, I'm still going to have to modify the linkage but it will work. Got some buddies that do fabrication workin out the details with me.
