anyone using the klicktronic or the pingel electric shifter on a trike ? what are your thoughts on either one.

 

Take a look at this thread on the forum for discussion on these shifters.

J&R Cycle in Mentor Ohio has done a 2010 Triglide with the Pingle one. This was a custom install on one of the Mechanics bikes (440) 205-1957
I think they would help with questions.

 

My son lost his left leg above the knee in a MC accident in 02/13.
He purchased an 03 Harley with a factory side car, and added
a Klicktronic from SOCAL (sp) in California I believe.
He is happy with the unit and with SOCAL service, maybe if I
remember it was 12 or 13 hundred.
He has had a little trouble with the shift from first to second,
and I am thinking he has told me he has to Klick twice to
get thru neutral and into second.
He and my GS did some extensive research, and went with
the Klick. As I remember, if need be the Klick can be overhauled
by the factory.
Hope this helps, if I can answer any questions for you, I will
enterface with him and get back to you..................Tenn.

 

i'm looking at doing this too! lost my left leg above the knee and trying to figure how to ride again. any pic's ofhis setup? any help is greatly welcomed.

 

Back in the early days of the pingel electric shifter, I tried on my Ironhead drag bike. Pingel went out of their way to help me get it working. They changed the buttons to the larger air shifter type, talked to me on the phone while I was adjusting it to shift properly. It was designed for the newer short throw shifting, not the older long throw tyrannies like the Ironhead has. It all worked out and worked flawlessly. I use other products they have. They are top of the line.

 

which does every one think is the better shifter? i know pingel does not give a very long warrenty.

 

My opinion.

Based on my own use of their system, other people in our situation I know and have talked to, and all the info I have been able to find on these two systems, my strong preference is for the Klicktronic.

I have also spoken with these people both via emails and on the telephone, and have found them very responsive, informative, and cooperative. My questions were related to a different shift button assembly they have available, and not due to any problems with their product.

They definitely represent their product well.

From all I have found, the Pingle is more widely sold and I believe the prices for each are close to the same.

Which ever way you decide to go, stay away from the air-shift systems, all that I talked to said the electric systems are far more trouble free and reliable.

Best of Luck, See Ya down the road.

i also lean toward the kliktronic.i prefer the pingel mount over what kliktronics offers. i wonder if the diameter of the two are the same. thinking about using the kliktronic with a pingel bracket.

 

Not sure about the pic, I will look at it and see if the install is anything
but straight forward.
Also my son left one of the shift levers on, and moved it to 12 o'clock
so he will not be down on the side of the road.......Tenn.
