I would say 300 isn't bad for such a well designed product and great quality parts. and for a out of production uncommon motorcycle.
if this was a product made and sold by polaris Indian for their Indians...it would probably be no less than $1,300. and I'm not being out of line. go to their website and check out some of their prices on accessories.
it's uncanny, lol

- March 08, 2015, 16:44:55 PMyes mine came from ted and it is top notch machinework.
the right hand shift is very nice for down shifting, or finding neutral when your not moving, or loading/pushing the bike.
and if you install it and don't care for it, just ignore it as it doesn't get in the way or affect normal shifting. imo it will probably help the resale value of the bike anyway

- March 08, 2015, 15:09:10 PMWell Larry all the 800's as far as I know came with a heel and toe shifter, the hand shifter is an add on by Ted's Design, you can find a few about for sale still.
