Man what a great pic of you and your hound. I fire mine up and my labs run for the hills.
As for your shifting troubles. I am thinking some kind of a lever up to your side. Something like the old suicide shifters. The shift lever is pretty stout once you get that sh!ty linkage off of it. Go to a fab shop down there around Bragg and see if someone can get something going for ya. I have a couple buddies still down there I could give a call and man they are both smokin ***** with some steel and a welder. Get it on the bike and try it out. If it works for you send it off for paint or powder. I am thinking it will have to have some type of bracket under the tank to support the upper parts but I really think it is doable.
Anyway, awesome inspiration you are. Guys like you are the reason I wish I would of stayed in. There is no trade off for determination. Let me know if I can help you out at all.

I can help with the Leg Up Landing Gear. A good friend of mine is the inventor. His shop is around the corner from me. I have followed the progress of the Leg Up from day one. It just plain works. There was a double amputee in the shop a couple weeks ago getting a Leg Up installed on his bike. 407-834-5007 is the shop #. Ask for Pete. Info@landingear.com Pete can assist you with all the problems concerning your bike. You have been through enough. If I can be of assistance please PM me and I will do whatever I can to help.
Too cool!

Hey Bro, I'm just on the other side of Bragg Blvd. I'm a machinist/welder/fabricator, if you want some help with the shifter issue or anything else, I will work with you to find a solution that suits your needs. Gotta warn you up front, my multiple duty positions and service obligations consume a lot of my time, so when it comes to projects I'm not real fast, but I am real good at what I do. PM me.

I sent a message to Pete. he was all too helpful, and told me to give him a buzz when I am ready, and we will discuss which system will best suit my needs. I read some of the other testimonials, and I continue to be impressed by what i see. I think that this is going to be the best route for me, but we will have to wait a few months to find out for sure. I would imagine that feb will be about the right time. I ll keep you all posted, and thank you for your continued support.
