POST your custom shifters
Re: POST your custom shifters
Still a work in progress.
 By xc204 at 2010-12-16 The handle bar end of a threadless MTB stem cut off. I had a few and tried it out one day and wow it fit. Going to use another one for the foot brake mount on that bike.could have welded or drilled the frame but couldn't make up my mind on location.

Re: POST your custom shifters
Here's one that I did a few years ago. It's not a custom shifter but it looks real kewl... It's a old 5-speed Sting Ray shifter mounted like a 'jockey' shift on a custom 1950 Schwinn 5-speed cruiser.
I took these pics a little early before the bike was finished.    For custom motorized bicycles & engine kits in Los Angeles, please visit us at http://www.venicemotorbikes.com

Re: POST your custom shifters
Somewhat primitive in design, but with the "idiot proof" theory applied. This is now 6 years old, and still works just like it should. One up close shot, one from far enough away to see the shift lever. Can you say "suicide?"
  Not as nice as some of the more machined pieces that have come along in the last few years, but I did what's here with what I had on hand at the time. I don't have any welding equipment so it is a bolt-on piece. Thanks for looking, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Rat Royale REC Elsewhere BCC-TN (Board Certified Cycle-Truck Nut)
