5speed shifter

Post by fig »

Does anyone know if this shifter (http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-Airhead-R60 ... 5388644%26) will work in a 1980 R100T 5speed gearbox? I'm installing this box in a '73 R75/5 and I want to use the stock /5 pegs with a similar to the 4speed type shifter. If so is swopping out the short linkage arm shifter it came with with the one mentioned straight forward?

Yup, it will work. Just remove the center bolt and pull. Image

You're welcome, just a thought, if you don't want to drain the oil, tip the bike to the right before removal... I've done this before to replace a leaking shifter seal.
