How did the flappy paddle shifter/brake work? Must have been a strange feeling

i never got it into the power band and mostly short shifted but the gear switches were very positive. Up and down shifts felt great, even with no clutch.. Neutral took a try or 2 to find but that is just learning the get box.

Brake worked well, but it was a bit more of a rotation that stock easy to adjust out.

Got a few bugs to sort out, but overall a solid ride. Worst part is of course kick starting a 500, practice and a bruised arch is the only way to solve that.

You don't know shit until you've been snapped back by an XT500.....

Nice work

finding tdc on the right stroke is really key to making it look easy

This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen and I will nominate it for BOTM and vote for it from every computer I walk past

don't vote for your own computer. Someone recognizes your ip and they might accuse you of riding fat girls and scooters.

I would consider this a slow test ride. I was concerned about the chain more than anything, but it held up fine. Couple of bugs to work out of course.
