I hope it's at least better than the OE shift rod.

Rode a .... ton of miles yesterday. From 109 degrees in the valley to being rained on in Big Bear. Fun day.

Was hot as balls yesterday and today even, I live right in Woodland Hills. Not sure how everyone rides around here in full leathers during this time of year!???

On the Translogic conversion be careful with the shift rod that ships with the kit. The male end of the rod has snapped on a few of them. It snaps at the transition from the main rod body to the threaded section. The threaded section of the rod is too weak to use aluminum there. Much better to use a rod with the female configuration on both ends and a male rod end on the shift lever side.

I was looking at that and wondering if it would be strong enough. Good to know, thanks! I think Gecko mentioned something about them breaking too. I'll go ahead and cut the male end off the aluminum rod and thread it for a stainless threaded male instead.

Come visit Louisiana. You will enjoy the humidity. Notice the "Feels like" temp.

Could you show a pic from yours if you don't mind? Thanks.

I start out with a hex piece of 12mm 7075, cut it to whatever length I need, turn it in the lathe then tap both ends. You can buy pre cut female/female aluminum rod online. I wanted something very robust and I needed a custom length.

Standard shift. I ran bolts in each end of both rods to make sure I had it adjusted to equal length exactly before I install it. The AEM rearsets I'm using required a little longer length but there's plenty of length left in either rod.
 
I haven't ridden it yet but I immediately notice how much less slop there is in the shifter now. The OE end links are crap. I also used an extra flanged titanium bolt I had. It had a shoulder on the shank so I'm sure it's contributing to the slop reduction. Time to go ride...

Ok so you see the Translogic setup in the lowere photo. You run it set up that way and you're going to snap the rod at the section where it turns to the male thread section especially if you run it out that far. Translogic knows about this and there is a thread by I think Gecko showing this very setup broken at that spot. I believe that thread is an M5 and aluminum is not stout enough in that application. You really want to run two steel male rod ends into a double sided rod.
