    Hi,
    I'm an above the knee amputee on the left side. I would prefer to still have a clutch and shift manually. Does anyone make a kit for moving the foot shifter from the left to the right side of the bike?
    I'm looking at Spyder F3's.

    Thanks!

    ... First off, Welcome to the Spyder Lovers Forum.
    I can't remember if this modification has been done.
    Or even a possible option. Hopefully someone will
    chime in on this project.

    Sorry, I don't have any real information for you.

    I built a manual shifter for a Harley Sportster that operated with a cross-over rod and a few simple levers to move the shifter from the left side to the right side and remain a foot operated shifter. The shifter was operated with my right toe, and the rear brake with my right heel. I have left side BK amputation. Converted Harley Sportster to a trike when no trikes were available from the dealerships at all and rode it for over 20 years. I had an 8 page step by step of the entire conversion process with pictures on the XL Forum, however the forum migrated to a different format. The text is still there, but the photos of the build did not survive the migration, so to whole thing is about useless to get any information on the conversion now.

    Well crap. I can still put things together but I don't have those kind of fabricating skills. Thanks anyway for the reply Gwolf!

    Why not simply use the paddle shifters on the left bar to shift manually, Postleg? It would be a cheaper, easier option. (Don’t forget your one and only brake pedal is already on the right)
