Welding on factory shifters
Has anyone welded on the factory shift lever??
I have 2-3 extra ones and am a big time cheapskate I thought of lengthening them to allow a little more room on the boards.
Before someone says chuck the heel shifter==NO !! I have been riding 30 years with heel/toe shifters and love them.
They look like cast materiel and would they become brittle if welded?
Anyone done this ??

"a big time cheapskate" and owning a Harley-Davidson hmmm seems odd.
But good luck with your project.

Seems odd to me to not do my all my own work and pay someone to touch my bike.
When I started riding HD Evo motors were brand new and we scrounged for parts, or swapped with others and went to swap meets looking for deals or we made what we wanted. It was a lifestyle.
To open our wallet and stand around talking about our "wrench" or "indy" and what they did or were gonna do seems seems odd.
Different strokes for different folks.

Yup, really really !
Making your own stuff has a great deal of satisfaction for some folks. ANY moron can buy a part and have someone else do the work.
I may even rechrome the parts in a bucket plastic too, imagine that !
