Gotta have a kicker !

Things have been going pretty good this week sofar, i finished most of the work on the dyna I'm currently working on, I mounted a 4-spd kicker via a adapto plate to a 5-spd dyna trans. That was the easy part, the fun began with engineering a clutch cable setup for it, I started with a stock clutch arm and atttempted to make it work by cutting a bit off the end to clear the start button mounted on the starter and then took the torch to it to bend it, so that it would clear the top of the 5-spd. After looking at that a bit, the general concensous was that it looked like doggy do-do. LOL So, I ended up cutting the end off where it bolts to the clutch rod, throwing the rest away and making a new one out of 1/2" steel rod, now it looks good. Next up came figuring out the cable mounting, that actually worked out pretty nice with a simple clean bracket made from some angle stock that was in the bits & pieces pile. It all turned out pretty cool looking, even with the clutch cable running along the right side of the engine instead of the left. "The Nature Boy" as we call him, wants to do a jockey shift next winter, so all I have to do now is to convince him to do a X-Treme suidice clutch setup since the clutch cable is neatly running down the right side now, other wise I'll be figuring out how to get it looped over to the left side for a regular jockey setup. That was the hard stuff, the easy work was swapping out a new set of rims and tires and powder-coating his handlebars. Well, it's off to update the shop's website now.
