aftermarket shift lever doesnt fit, needs spacer

[ike0909]

I bought an aftermarket Shift lever. The linkage matches up, but the dowel hole to mount the lever is too big. It look to me that I Could use a spacer but I wanted opinions before I went playing. Just a simple example. there is... Say... a 2 inch hole on the lever and a 1 inch dowel. not exact... If I put a spacer in,do I permamently Mount spacer to lever or just Secure with a larger washer?

What brand is it..most companys make spacers that match up with the lever id check w8th them before u go sticking just any old washer in there..not that it should hurt

If it doesn't fit - I'd venture a guess it's not the right part, it didn't arrive with everything you needed, or you missed a bit taking the old one off.

Pics would help!

yes pics would help, I agree. I have not had a Chance to work on it again. It is an E-bay buy from China because I cannot Find anyone Who Carriesaftermarket parts... bike is too Old. I Stopped by ACE hardware and they have a selection of items that may work. when I get the Chance to tear back into it,I'll take pics.

I have seen some bc I was looking in the past. They have some cool stuff on this site http://www.whaccessories.com/SuzukiK...ccessories.htm But I havent really looked into it much

I understand what your sayin. The post on the sprocket cover where there is a c-clip holding the shifter on (the pivot point of the shift linkage) is smaller than the hole in the shifter. Logically yes a spacer should work with a larger washer behind the clip to keep it all from sliding off. First I would check with manufacturer to see if the spacer got left out or an alternative part is available

yea well, turns out the linkage is backwards,tue threads are, and the joint on the new lever is opposite... not a good fit.
