the mother load of cx builds.............

both of those bikes posted above are among my favs, and do look sexy as hell with the cbr front end swaps and clip-ons,
but I'd like to not be leaning so far forward ala crotch rocket style, so i'm going more for dirt/street tracker bars up front with a less than stock rise and sweep, but not straight across like drag or clip-on style.
I'm still trying to figure out how to do forward foot controls, but the straight off the shaft shifter must be the hurdle, as i've yet to see it done on a cx ?
I may have to try some sort of cable driven unit ?
the shift shaft sits front to back and comes out the back of the trans, instead of out the side like a normal engine, not sure how to make the corner and redirect the action that would be required from 18 inches forward ?
cable driven ? we shall see, I may be the first
to do a hand/suicide shifter, would require up/down shifter movement versus front/back action like any other bike.
it's a strange set-up and going to be a challenge for sure.
I will have the benefit of that pipe not being in the way, as the mac 2:1 pipes cross over before that point and exits out the other side.
the relocated battery box actually mounts underneath right in behind that shifter point.
hmmmm........ double action electric solenoid controlled by a hand switch on the bars
like the newer honda utility quads use on this same transverse engine
time to go search ebay
