Great video! I really wasn't even thinking about getting anything else but a jockey shifter; however , I believe they are OVER priced by most sites. Now that I have seen your video, I think this will work for me too. Thank you for this, sir

Thanks for the video and the link. I got it added to my Ryker and it's so much easier! I've shared your video in my Ryker FB pages.

To put the new shifter on you put the screw in the threaded hole and force it open. Works perfect don’t have to thread it toofar the serrated bore opens right up.You have to put a little plate of sorts over the hole so the Screw doesn’t go through.

I purchased my 2020 Ryker used and it had this mod already done, but it was all loose. Your video helped me see how it was put together and now I am able to reposition and tighten everything anew. I'm going to use somme blue thread lock when putting the bolt back in the shifter extension. Thanks.

I just got my 2020 Ryker 900 and did this mod immediately. To get the rubber off I used my wife's hairdryer . I heated the rubber up on high for no more than a couple of minutes and it expanded sufficiently to be pulled off easily. I had to twist like you mention but didn't need a glove even though the rubber was quite warm. Putting it back on I used some dishwasher soap liberally down the inside of the rubber and it slipped right back on the shaft very easily.

Great job, I’m 6’3 and I found shifting into reverse thought,cheers

Hey there Mark. Nice little mod. Very inventive. Ride Safe Brother. Namaste 🙏🏻

Great idea, and mission accomplished! One thought: there’s a reason the shifter won’t slide on easily with the bolt in place, or that the bolt won’t thread easily if you try to put it in after the shifter is in place. The shifter is designed to slide onto a splined shaft with a groove cut into it. That way, even if the bolt comes loose, the lever is still held captive and can’t fall off. Without that groove, the bolt interferes with the fat portion of the round shaft. Solution? Just a few minutes with a Dremel tool or file to make a little relief notch in the fatter portion of the shaft where the bolt goes. Worked like a dream and can save a lot of aggravation.

Thanks for the video. I bought two one for my husbands and my bike.

Great mod I've been wanting to do something like this to mine but I'm not very creative glad someone else thought of it! Ride Safe!

I took my shifter off and moved 2 notches so it was closer to me. Made shifting much easier.

Good morning Mark. Clever mod!

very nice setup, i will do the same to mine thanks.

Looks like some hard shin action will occur

Well done😊

Love it

Very nice and easy.

I bought the gear shifter on this video,tried to put it on my Ryker today,and can't get it to tighten up.It does nothing but spin around.............any suggestions?

It didn't work for me... It looks easy on the video... The thing don't go all way down.

We bought our Rallies spring of 2019 I'm 5'9 and my wife is 5'11 we have never used our hands to shift or had any problems. We don't pull it back with our toe either. But we also wear Appropriate foot wear while riding. A boot with a heel and an arch fits the shifter and the foot pegs. You should never ride a bike in Flat Soles or you run the risk of your foot slipping off the pegs ⚠️⚠️ PPE WHILE RIDING WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE ⚠️⚠️

Thanks, i just bought one

Good idea

The one I got looks like this but mine is loose

Where did you get the silver fairings?

Working on this mod now! How did you get the new gear shifter over the thicker part? Mine won't budge!!

Those groups only for guys?

When the fuel light comes on the Ryker how many miles left?

Don't see the link, do you have a part number?
