Default shift linkage?
Anyone have any interesting shift linkage? I found some that looks like barbedwire, thought I might add it, but thought I would check with you people first... any insight on any of this?

thanks a million!
Ride safe!
RJ

When you replace your shift linkage be sure to have both ends as heim joints. The stock linkage is a week link. I have seen a number of them fail on trips.

I picked one of Joker Machines linkages and stripped the chrome off and had it painted to match the rest of the bike.
