Great idea Joe, I may have to use one of those myself . On my last bike my shifter linkage rod was almost 3 ft long  :-o

I'm a big fan of McMaster Carr. Since I have moved to Southern Illinois, I can order online on Monday and UPS brings it to my door on Tuesday!

The XL shifter pawl mechanism is awfully sloppy even when new ... Once I switched over to GP pattern it worked a lot better ... It appears that it requires a lot of force to overcome the slop ... Joe

Fork stop set up ... tab is welded to frame ... stops welded to aluminum plate that I will drill and tap to bottom fork tree.



Bolt on the stainless plate to the tab which limits travel to 15 degrees. I can adjust it with a different plate or remove it to manuever the bike around the shop and load it.

Rear peg shifter side





  my first yr. i ran similar pedal w/rod linkage; had trouble downshifting.
  last yr. i added a 3"
extension off the pivot area of pedal; clocked about 35 degrees to the rear. that, w/ another shifter peg allowed me to 'heel'
downshift after runs to clear course easier.
