Pingle Shifter
We installed a Pingle shifter on our TriGlide 3 months ago, but have numerous problems. First, the kill switch module had to be replaced. Then the fuses were blowing so they replaced the main module. Took it back to the dealership yesterday and stalled out 8 times during the 10 mile trip. I noticed in earlier posts that Buddy WMC had similar problems. Is there a way to relocate the foot shifter from the left side to the right side? Anyone out there with similar issues and have they been resolved?

I have been down this road with the Pingel shifter failures and I have made a right foot shifter for my trike. I am a A/K left leg amputee myself.
This setup ( picture below) was my first setup and have since made refinements to make it even more reliable. When I made this it was done without stock fairing lowers to start. ( I have Hogg Chopp Lowers ) stock fairing lowers will have to be modified for this to work.
I also spaced my floorboards out 4" to the side and forward 2". A longer brake pedal was used with a it being re-angled for clearance over my right foot shifter setup. I have 30k since making my shifter setup. The $1000 piece of junk Pingel is in a box

FLTR sent me some photos of his conversion and Bullet 10 (another AK), sent me photos of his conversion. FLTR's looked a bit complicated to fab up, but I'm sure that could have been overcome. Bullet was in the process of upgrading his to roller bearings for the cross shaft vs bushings if I remember correctly.
To make a long story short while his was being made, I had him have his machinist make one for me as well. The shifter arrrived here last week. I'm waiting on a linkage part to arrive from Landmark. Soon as the part arrives and has been modified I'm having my dealer remove the Pingel as they installed it and have them do install the mechanical. I might get lucky as one of the techs wants my Pingel and I'll trade it off for the mechanical install. More to come after the install has been completed, but there are guys here willing to help each other.
