    My shifter Redesigned

    It was actually cracked so I simply took a wire wheel, cleaned the crack, and lightly welded it, then grinded the weld flush, taped off the peg, and peg, took my drill and bit and made 3 industrial divots and painted it flat black, then after the shifter was totally dried, I then redrilled the divots and reinstalled it onto the motorcycle, and then took a new bolt and and tightened it down. Hope that u enjoy my lil styling!

        Is it just my eyes, or, are you missing the engine mount bolt ahead of the shifter? Right under the stator cover.

        Shifter looks good.

            i think you should pay some attention to your engine covers as well!

                Here is some shots of the gas tank , took a month to get from previous owner, bought some spray stripper and soaked it down for a hour and then did some body work and filled in the dings and badge areas, got it into some primer but still got some lil areas to work over. no I am trying to figure out a color for it, any suggestions?
