Title: Add On Hand Shifter
Post by: 1999 Drifter on November 23, 2009, 05:54:38 AM
Was wondering if anyone has added a hand shifter to their Drifter purley for looks,  examples (Jockey shifter, tank shifter, slap shifter)
Whats your thoughts?
More retro or more junk?
I myself kindda like the idea.

Absolutely... many have done it.

Have a look at the mods section of the website.

They're right here.......but they're working hand shifters.  I suppose you could install one and not actually hook it up (just for looks), but WORKING is SO much cooler!

In 2000 I added a hand shifter to my 800 drifter. It worked great & that's actually why I'm back on this owners group site. The shifter was located & operated with the right hand while the clutch remained on the left handlebar.  I'm looking forward any information that might be out there as I can't find my old manual & builders notes.
