Default Harley Custom Gear Shift Linkage

Custom Gear Shift Linkage - Road KingŽ Scripted
33851-09
Just an FYI, installed this the other day and not only does it look good but it also made shifting more positive, it removed some the slop in the OEM linkage. I understand the same thing could be done for a lot less money. I like my bling to have form and function, figured I could spend lots of money easily dressing the bike but finding it harder to find products that have function and style. Like I said just an FYI looks nice, solid piece, shifting is more positive and I do a lot of shifting on this island.

I've been thinking of upgrading my gear shift linkage and keeping the stocker in the bag for myself or anyone who may need one while on the road.

Thanks for reminding me.

I installed the Willie G Skull theme shift rod on my Ultra, and if you don't angle it right, it hits the chrome primary cover from Kuryakyn. Just a heads up.

The stock ones look terrible. I went with the Harley 'twisted' rod.

Looks better than the stock one.

Just put the HD "Road King" script one on mine tonight. I like it allot so far. Went for a quick ride, and it does seem less sloppy then the Factory Rod. Not to mention "The Bling Factor" it adds to the Scoot too

Default Yeah!

Why are the stock linkages so cheesy?
Oh yeah, I remember,
So they can sell you a better one!

Just did my brake pedal and gear shift, plan to do the link next, if nothing else it will look a lot better than stock, and if I notice an improvement, that's another plus.
