You can do this a couple ways....

1. Run a tank shift. This will allow you to not hit the back of the rear jug headpipe.

2. Remove the entire primary (inner too) and re-position the shift lever on the shift shaft coming out of the transmission. If you do this, you'll need a new (or different) lever from La Briola, as turning the shift lever back one tooth will make the shifter hit the inside of the inner primary.

3. Run a regular shifter with the true duals.

I am currently working option #2. Rick has been so kind as to bend me a new arm, and send it to me so I can determine how long I want it. The bend will be 1" up from the regular location. Once I know the length, it's going back to him for the threads, and chrome. All this for some Samson true duals with super cholos.

But hey, while I've got the primary off, I figured it was a good time to add a chrome inner.

I also have relocated my coil, which I believe you would need to do as well.

Not sure why you'd want or need to reindex your primary, when your going to use a bespoke lever anyways, like I sais in my previous post Rick sent me a raw lever, I've had it bent to fit round the pipe, and now I have the choice of getting it chromed or PC'd, big job to take the inner and outer primary off, when it gets you to the same place without doing it.
I've had my lever done and all mine is ready to fit, I've had the setup in the garage ready to fit since last Xmas, just havent got round to putting it on. It's going on in the next few weeks.

With a tank shifter and true duals you will need to bend your shift linkage to allow clearance for the left side exhaust. This is what I did.

You nailed it Jay, the Carlini bars have a better angle to it, especially where you are on risers now you can adjust that. With the RSD bars, you did a creative initiative to cut them to make them fit your stock triple, but I still like your new setup better. You got that some tricked out bro!

What bars did you have before, Jay?

The Carlini bars look awesome, but almost look too wide apart. But that may be super comfortable.

See his Avatar pic - they were RSD bars that he cut and fit into the top of the trees, but they had to go at the same angle as the forks cause there was no riser. (the new ones are adjustable cause there is a new top tree and risers) - correct me if I am wrong Jay

These ones are pretty wide but I think it matches up good with that big 250 out back.
