Don't you have to take your hand off the throttle to shift??????????????
It looks cool but it sounds kinda retarted to ride and guess you won't be racing?????

Nice job. I say get rid of the golf ball and add a beer tap. So many cool beer taps out there check ebay. You could thread it and change it up every once in a while.

sorry guys...i ended up gettin the glass door ****.... locally around here, in Denver, hardly anyone has a jockey shifter, much less a door ****. thought about skulls, but there are more around that have those. and for beer taps, i don't drink beer. so it'd be a bit uncool to me to have one if i dont' like it...unless, i can get a Dr Pepper one. haha.

but if i see something cool that i could use, i can always take off the ****. the Golf ball, just was too low down, my arm was fully extended so it was hard to move the shifter forward or backwards.... and the golf ball, would spin...and ultimately easy to come off.

and the piston idea, i like. just need to find one.

yes, i do have to take my hand off the throttle to shift. i can still ride, and still faster from 0 to 40 than most cars on a sunday stroll...
i have no reason to drag against anyone.
not gonna take it to the drag strip...have too many parts taken off to be allowed on the track.

and the flat track races, well, a slow start from 1st to 2nd, but i stay in 2nd the whole time anyways... and it's a Hooligan's class, so no real racing anyways.
