As for road tests, well, upshift is easy, smooth, immediate. Haven't had a slip out since I've done it.
Downshift, that's another story.
Because this shifter is mostly straight, the end of the lever needs to roll toward your heel when you push it down, the rubber booty sticks to the bottom of your boot making the angles and forces needed a little funky.
You get used to it but it's not ideal and still bother me a bit.
I think this design would be ideal:
But I don't have the facilities to make and test one to be sure. it's just a sketch from my head... I haven't been able to find an actual shifter in this shape.

I'm thinking of trying to fit a non-linkage gear lever 'cos finding neutral is such a pain. Does 'Speed3' mean a Triumph Speed Triple, and would it matter what year it was. Also has anyone got any other bike/model gear lever that they have fitted. Just want to be able to give a bike breakerage a bit of choice
Thanks
Mike
