Tube frame shifter & brake pedal

[d_adams]

Just spent a bit of time speaking with Al from American Sport Bike about this, it appears that the factory shifter parts for tubers are no longer in production. I've got access to a machine shop that _might_ be willing to do both the shifter and brake, the linkage and all hardware. Who's interested? I don't have pics yet, but I figured they'd be billet aluminum with stainless hardware and most likely polished. Banke's were pretty popular a while back, so they'll be similar to that design. There's only so many ways to build stuff like this, but I don't want to step on any toes with an exact copy.

I know there are some differences between year models, so I'll be starting out with what I have as a test bed, a 2000 M2 Cyclone. Mine's currently got a boomerang shifter on it that flops around like nobody's business and it needs replaced, so that's what's driving this for me.

Post up, let me know if you'd be interested, I don't have a firm price on them just yet though.

I would be interested depending on price and which tubers you have in mind.

I just bought a Banke setup... but get them produced anyways. I am looking to pickup another tuber in the future and will replace the ****** HD shifter first instead of waiting for it to screw up like it did on my current bike.

I have the same problem, building an x1 here in Ireland. I would be interested if they were the right price and you wouldnt mind posting to Ireland.

Thanks, David.

I also have a 2000 cyclone and also hate my shifter. Depending on price i would be interested.

Looks like there's maybe 6-8 interested so far, so I'll go ahead with it depending on the cost. I have the option of either stainless steel or aluminum. Any preferences?

I'm interested - and I vote for SS.

Should have something this week possibly. I have most of the hardware at the machine shop now, needs a couple of small pieces made up. I'm debating on doing the entire setup, ie; pegs, shifter, brake, or just shifter and brake only.

Just now saw this, id be interested to see a product. Anything for a tube frame at this point I expect to be expensive anyways custom or not.

It won't be as bad as you think. The banke shifter is a little over $300 and that's just the shifter alone.

LSL still makes foot controls for the tubers. That's what I went with on my café build. Made to order and pricey though! Also repositions the pegs up 1" and back 2". Shifter linkage all brackets and pegs including brake side was around $800.00 US with shipping.

Here are some pics of the LSL setup.

Did you ever get those controls made? I'm interested...

Brake side is on mine, never got the time to finish the shifter side yet. Still needs the threaded linkage to connect it. Too many exhaust systems to get built, but I'm planning on revisiting this very soon.
