I tried the shift lever also. I wound up cutting and welding to shorten mine
to about the same position as stock but that was too short making shifting
fairly hard, I'm back to stock now.

On this note, we got to try out the Triumph Frontier suits 2 weeks back in
our trip to St. Louis. We got 4 days of steady rain between going out and
back and had not a single drop of water leak through either suit (Dee's or
mine) and that is a fact. I don't particularly like the way the suit fits
but I have never had raingear work that well.
