i see that some of u guys took yours off. what do u use to shift now?

 

its probally on the scramblers right... then they probablly just leave it in High gear all the time other then that i wouldnt know

 

some people have completely removed everything even the reverse gears and nonsense.

 

I don't have any pictures yet but I just did that very thing. I removed the linkage that goes
to the tranny but left the aluminum piece that was bolted to the top of the tranny installed.
I just turned the aluminum arm so it was pointing toward the right rear side. I then used
a small piece of metal. It is about 4" long, 1/2" wide and about 3/16" thick. I drilled two holes
in this piece of metal. One was the same size as the fastener that went into the aluminum
mounting arm and the other was about a 1/8" hole. I drilled a new 1/8" hole into the
aluminum arm. I had to put 2 small bends on the new metal shift handle so it would not
hit the side of my pipe. So with it all bolted together all you do is reach just under the pipe
pull the new handle forward for drive or push it back for reverse. None of this can be seen
unless you remove the seat. All the linkage was removed along with cutting off of the
welded metal bracket that was on the frame.
I've also had my seat foam cut down. My seat is now about 2" high.

 

talonhawk can u get some pics?? thanks

tbsleeper--
Got pictures of my reworked seat and of the removed shift lever. The pic of the new shift
lever is in the second row down and the middle picture.

 

niice!! how do u shift it from sitting down adn reaching behind ur leg cuz thats what im gonna do soon too. u must be really tall to be able to reach teh handlebars wit aht seat!!

 

I'm 6 foot tall and the reach isn't bad at all. With the seat cut down it puts my
shoulders almost level with the handle bars. So I have better leverage.
The shift lever handle is just under the pipe and just behind my right leg.
