The Jockey Shifter

This shifter design that i fabricated for "The Whip" got positive attention and several orders so i decided to post some images of its build progress.
















It makes it easier to design it in 3d first, so i can figure out the proportions and get a printout for the 1/1 scale diagram. This way the hand made components look more precise.














My client who ordered this one will install it on a Flyrite "Smoking Gun" as well.

































































Below you can see the beveled edge, I used a hand file to achieve this form.
















To the left is the lower arm, connected to the main bracket.



















The clutch lever housing bracket is probably the most complicated component of the set-up.





































































Yeah, I know, not so safe... this machine is unbelievable strong.




Before / After




Lower arm bearing housing.

3d's for the CB750

The gas tank will look like this. The knee indents will be a bit of a challenge but this detail is what makes this design.














Below is the tail which is actually the extention of the gas tank , Yeah it's not going to be a traditional cafe style.

Original 1936-47 Harley big twin springer:
What a beauty! It has a 1" stem.

I already received all parts for its full restoration. 

Castings? Yeah still there! But the paint is not in good shape, so i will take care of that next week.
