Tiger mods

[Beernard]

Hi all,

Here is a mod I did about 2,000k ago. I had had enough of the gear shift. Sloppy at best. Look at the pics and you can see what I did. Pretty simple and works nice. Lever from who knows? and 8mm mild steel rod.

Going a bit deeper, I originally planned to set the angle, then add another piece of 8mm rod to strengthen up the show.

Then gremlins from my past appeared, as they will. I had a trail bike that bent an internal gear change component every time I fell off on the left side, which was regular. After a while, I got over the repair and cut most of the way through the lever with a hacksaw. Then it bent or broke without causing internal damage. 

I then think about the Tiger lever "How strong does this have to be?" Then "I can easily bend it back into shape". Then "how hard do I actually press on the lever?"

I'm sure you get it. Works fine, easy mod. I can even easily "adjust" it when I change boots!

All the best, Bern.
