Hi Smed, the 81 CR450 shifter does the job.

Cheers,

Kenneth

It looks similar to mine. Mine sticks out a bit more than the stock one which I originally thought would be a problem but it actually felt better and I am not missing as many shifts. I will take a photo of how it looks on the bike and post it here for you. Hopefully later today if I remember when I am at the workshop.

Thanks for the info popeye,where did you buy it from?,the hammerhead site only lists one for the 1200,perhaps they are NLA  :'(

Hi Smed,

You seem to have it sorted but I said I would post an image for you so here it is.

Thanks Ken & popeye,I still don't know which way to go yet,The IMS job is quite a bit cheaper & the hammerhead is going to be strong as an ox & bling city by all accounts :)
