Shift star modification.

Post by Sandblaster » Sat Jun 22, 2013 4:07 pm

In the midst of so many other projects I'm thinking about modifying my shift star as shown below.
The reason for this modification is to improve shifting by giving a more positive shift.

Has anyone ever tried it?
If bikes are for kids I'll never grow up.

Have you ridden a bike with this mod.? I have not had good luck personally, with shift mods.(Maybe Mine was not done properly)And my friends that race carts, went back to stock. (real outlaw 500cc dirt/shifter carts) I realize that is not exactly the same. Just some info. :| I am very interested in knowing the out come.(and the measurements) :geek: And maybe we can start doing shifter cart mods...... ;)
BECAUSE GOLF COURSES SHOULD BE MOTOCROSS TRACKS.....

I have never tried it.
I do have a few extra's to ruin ;)
I am interested in shifter carts so feel free to post anything you want on them.
I would think if that mod works on one it should work on the other.
I'll post more on this mod later.
