Default Jockey Shifter on 2010 "48"

So i'm thinking about a jockey shifter on my "48", Here's my questions...

Where can a buy a boly on kit, who sells them and are they costly?

Second, to all those who have jockey shifters, are they a novelty at first and who wishes they didn't install it?

I am looking for a forward unti somewhere around the tank area...not behind me.

Thanks in advance

I love my set up. I can get you a LaBriola setup for your ride. They are not a novelty. Get one. Pm for pricing info.

labrollia kits are IMO the best bolt on kits out there...poss the best kits period. I have one for the clutch set up and a homemade shifter...best of both worlds IMO. I do regret my switch sometimes...its not for aggressive riding, twistys or dragin around town. now that the bad stuff is out of the way i'll say even though i've thought about changing my set up back i don't think i ever will. It is alot of fun! And even though I said you can't get crazy aggressive dragin or riding twistys you can still push it hard and really enjoy them. I don't think you would regret it. good luck
