jockey shifter assembly

[uberfranz]

hello, I bought a complete jockey shift kit for a 5 speed tranny but I am struggling with the assembly, has anyone a picture of it mounted on a bike or an instruction manual for it?

in the sttachmeattachment a picture of the kit:

Who made it????? Where did you buy it????

That looks to be a V-T 22-0735 kit ... ??

that's correct, it's item nr 22-0735 from V-twin. I have now mounted it on my chopper, but I am still puzzled since I expected the mechanism to work slightly differently, any help is highly appreciated.

On a regular HD rocker clutch control, it's heel down to disengage, and toe down to engage. I assume on your replica, it is the same. It takes a little getting used to in operation. The overcenter spring combined with the snubber discs when properly adjusted will keep the pedal in the disengaged position.

thank you for the reply.
it seems it is exactly the opposite on this kit, which it doesn't make sense looking at the spring...

If you take the spring off the rocker pedal it turns it into a suicide clutch. Just push down on the former "heel" part and let up like a car clutch pedal. You got a pic of it mounted on the bike? The pics you show has the rocker pedal WAY to perpendicular. Rocker pedal should be more parrallel.

Here's a similar setup showing the mounting position and the pedal assebly installed. The spring is an 'over-center' type of setup that simply helps to hold the pedal in a relative position. When the pedal s first installed it's almost point straight up until you force it into the final position using two hands.

By the way the friction disc that comes with these imported units will probably last about two days so buy some 'good' ones.

thank you,
it seems my pedal works on the opposite manner, that's why I wonder if I did something wrong...
I would have never thought after building two choppers that something this simple should take so much time and energy. I also think that the black arm holding the clutch cable could be mounted wrong, but I have been trying many different positions and none seemed to be right...

I will post a picture of my pedal mounted as soon as I get to the club. thanks again.

here come some pictures



as you can see if I use the heel the clutch will be engaged, and it seems very odd to me.

[JBinNC]

Looks like from your pictures if the heel is down, the clutch is disengaged, as is the normal function of that pedal assembly.

The clutch is ENGAGED to go, DISENGAGED to stop.

Definitions may be the stumbling block here.

Jim

Edit to add: It looks like there are no friction discs and spring included in that assembly. Therefore, it may not stay in the disengaged position.

As jb said heel to shift, toe to go

[uberfranz]

OK, now that makes a little more clearness in my mind, I thought it was supposed to work like in a car...

[gww250]

that would be a suicide clutch.
