I fitted as per the instructions (using a bit of blue Loctite on the bolts) ensuring that the front gear lever and the angle of the EZ-shift were parallel - luckily this was easy as I have an adjustable linkage.
Went for a test ride just up the road and stopped a couple of times... WHAT a difference!

Shifts through the gears with ease but the real difference is that when you come to a standstill you can find neutral really easily - very, very happy

Here you go...

There's a grub screw arrowed to ensure it's snug up against the lever and that there's no movement in the EZ-shift.

Makes you wonder why they don't make it like this in the first place.

Good job.

Used a Harley Holdfast rack to mount a Givi E340NA 34L Monolock Top Case.
Added a modified Harley backrest. The case is large enough to store a FF helmet and a jacket.
