Call Matt Quinn at Pipeworx. He is a metalsmith. He can help you design, duplicate and fabricate anything you want.

Spadafora Choppers does high quality custom shift linkage.


I had them make me one a few years ago and it has held up great.

I wanted something very personal for my shift rod. It is my own EKG tracing. (heart beat) It was made by http://www.tamarackmw.com/

They did a great job, were very easy to deal with and not bad on price either. It is the one on the bottom left. http://www.tamarackmw.com/tamarack_014.htm

Here it is on the bike:Untitled by T Davis, on Flickr

Give it a try on making your own, find a friend that has the tools to help you. Made mine with a vise, torch and a welder.

Sorry to hi-jack but what's the process of installing. Is it just screw on or measuring sides.
The stock aluminum ones are horrible.


Thanks!

With rapid prototyping and CNC machining, almost any design can be made for a price.
