This started life as a ’72 XS650….fork was on it when I got it…trying to get wiring, etc done this week…maybe finish it (well, at least to make it able to ride!) within the next 2 weeks! Updates to come..

I am in the middle of a XS650 bobber build and want to have a jockey shift on the right hand side of the bike. I want the shifter behind my right leg. I think I have every thing figured out except a good clean looking mount with no slop for the link rod that will travel under the seat from left to right. Any suggestions of how to build this with “NO SLOP” would be appreciated. Picts of one done would be very helpful. As far as I can tell there is no kit to do this. Maybe an opportunity to make some extra money if I can come up with a nice clean looking assembly. Thanks……..Joe (T-Rat)
