#145473 Stocked (User) Wayne Platinum Boarder Posts: 1221 Custom Something 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Ok you guys guess what it is. I wasn't sure if it was an old sportster like maybe '83 or earlier. The shifter was on the right and the rear brake was on the left. I love the right side peg. I think it was an old shock or a door plunger. The shifter was a piece of galvanized conduit. The pipes looked like they were straight out of the head no baffles. I waitied around but didn't get to hear it. Picture I took this at last weeks Toy for Tots ride. I thik we had about 2500-3000 riders show up but haven't heard the count yet.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/12/13 11:32 By Musky.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #145487 RoadstarB (User) Take off work and RIDE, You can work anytime. Gold Boarder Posts: 843 Re:Custom Something 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Definitely an old iron head sportster, nice work but I would leave the conduit for what it is intended for and do a better job with the shifter,,,Riding that rig with the shifter on the right and brakes on the left would take some getting used to, but sure looks like alot of fun!   Logged     Sold to BamaRoadStar   The administrator has disabled public write access. #145488 BigBoyinMS (User) I'm satisfied never being satisfied. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1705 Re:Custom Something 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Right hand shift ended in the early 70's if my memory is right. One of my best bikes was a '76 ironhead sporty.   Logged     2006 Midnight   The administrator has disabled public write access. #145489 javawave (User) Over 17235 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5710 Re:Custom Something 3 Years, 5 Months ago   You can see why they stopped doing it, pretty cool to own one, but had to be dangerous.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #145509 Crash369 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 400 Re:Custom Something 3 Years, 5 Months ago   You can thank the transportation dept. for that. People would hop on the bike take off, panic when something went wrong and down shift instead of brake.   Logged     You Gotta Be Tough If Your Going To Be Stupid![/b]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #145510 silvasilv (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1007 Re:Custom Something 3 Years, 5 Months ago   i actually blame my crash on right side shift haha...i had been riding a harley chopper with right side shift and when i sold it and bought my honda i locked up rear brake thinking i was downshifting when a guy cut me off...it was cool though while i had the harley hah   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #145518 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3210 Re:Custom Something 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Why that's a BB Custom ratbike .Notice the shower pipe suicide shifter with the PBR can handle and the deluxe duct tape wrap.The seat came off his wife's Schwinn ..just kidding BB I am looking forward to seeing what you do to the truck I have a 70 dodge in the yard I need to restore ..I never had a problem with the old shifter guess when I was riding I was in bike mode....Coug   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/12/13 16:09 By Cougar.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #145544 slezy (User) life is short enjoy every minute Platinum Boarder Posts: 2068 Re:Custom Something 3 Years, 5 Months ago   73 ironhead i bought a new one in 1974 1st year left hand shift the limeys were right hand shift also i beleive?!   Logged     life is once enjoy it to the fullest! bbcode   The administrator has disabled public write access. #145868 Road_Hawg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1397 Re:Custom Something 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Yep, ole sporty rat bike. That suicide shift could wind up in a painful place if they ever had to lay it down though. I bet it is awkward to shift without a suicide clutch.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/12/15 10:52 By Road_Hawg.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #145875 smhowse (Moderator) Book em Dan-o!
