The mod was really simple to do, and the shift rod was only a piece of 3/8" bar cut to length once the foot pegs were in place. i got the length right, drilled a couple of holes in the end, re-used the threads off the original shift rod, welded them in the holes, and had the whole thing rechromed. The only expense was a bit of 3/8" bar, and the re-chroming, plus my little spacers had to be chromed. I turned them up but you could use heavy wall hollow bar.
