Improvements from Easy Modifications

[Fun4me]

One inexpensive and two free and easy modifications improved my LRD. (See photos)
Have to admit I was a bit skeptical when I first read about the shift shaft support bracket. I couldn't see how that little part could make the claimed improvements. Positive reviews by a couple of folks on this forum I've learned to trust convinced me to try it. After installing the $59.95 part ordered from Hard Racing, I'm a strong supporter. Installation was simple and took 10-15 minutes. Eliminating flex in the shaft makes shifting much more precise and smooth. Money well spent.
I took most of the curves out of the front half of my shifter pedal to make it more ergonomic. Two of my other bikes also have heel shifters so I'm used to them. Straightening the pedal moved the toe knob forward and to the right just enough to make shifting a lot easier. A couple of minutes in the vice made a difference.
The other free modification was removing the rubbers from the foot pegs. To me, it provides much better footing and you gain 1/2" of leg room. It may sound minor but small improvements can add up. Happy riding!

Great mod sir! I think Ill do that as well. My size 12's don't like the stock position too much!

Spin the bar clamps forward 180 degrees, shifter down one notch in the front - i use the toe/toe method, and kick starter back a notch. Duct tape on the under the seat allen to be able to get it out too!

I Agree on the repositioning of the heel toe shifter 'down' 1 notch. even the super cub benefited from it and Angie wears like a size 4. lol..

Quick, easy, effective, and free, what more could you ask for?
