Hi Smed, the 81 CR450 shifter does the job.

Cheers,

Kenneth

Thanks Ken,I was looking at them thinking they may work,I found this but wasn't sure if it would work or not :)   http://www.ebay.com/itm/IMS-Steel-Folding-Gear-Shift-Lever-Honda-CR250-CR450-480-81-83-KTM-125-175-86-/390579739597?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D15054%26meid%3D7582275132906929711%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1125%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D360466915731%26

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  :'(

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 :)
