trickedcarbine Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Back in July I broke my ankle, tib & fib. I've been tryin to ride since the end of November, but I am still having trouble shifting. In the last week or so I've begged, borrowed, or stole just about every shifter I can think of. (Cascade, Pro Design, Tusk, stocker as far up as possible, magnum, hand full of Billit boss type from random ebay sellers) I just decided it's time to make something I can manipulate with my junk ass foot. I've googled till my eyes burn, but I have only seen a couple quality custom shifters. Most stuff I've seen is cobbled bent stockers. Anybody have any thing hand built or modified an existing stocker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
registered user Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 might check if any other type of bikes use the same spline. seems like i accidentally found out a honda shifter fits on ktm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I saw a slick set up on a yfz450. Curious if they are the same. I'm banking on cutting the factory nub and bending some mini tube or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrx46 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 weld a big rod to the stocker with a handle and pull it with your hand or tap it with your knee I've seen it done before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadbeat Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 too bad solenoid shifter kits are so pricey, a dude i knew put them on his bikes and quads he is a paraplegic, push buttons on the bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) I definitely don't need to take it that far. Thought about push button stuff, but really I think I'll be ok if I just get the shifter up and out of the nerf nets a bit. Maybe some type of rear set like the street bikes.

sheerider11 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 What about a heel toe shifter? Use your heel to shift up, toe to shift down. No lifting. My dad's Harley has it. Or a gp shifter. Press down to shift up and up to down shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'm gonna try a different lever combo I found a pic of, then start looking at rockets and cruiser bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleeper06 Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I used rear sets on a drag bike I modified for a friend , I don't usually take pics sorry, but they do work. I used an adjustable rod with two hiem joints I found a custom Harley shop by me , I can see if there still in business if u want I have been out of motorcycle game since 07 and a new knee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Rear sets were off an r1 and were pretty pricey but nice shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 the heel toe thing would most likle be your best bet. a big long bar will bounce around and shift the bike in anything but the smoothest of asphault. the air shift would be your other best bet but then peeps think your spraying nos.
