    First HD I rode was in 1960 or so and had a hand switch coming up beside the fuel tank.

    Great accessory. If I had a Ryker, I would jump on this one. Cool, different, functional.

    A tad pricey at $179.95....BUT...I would want one anyway.

    I like how it's black paint blends in so well with the black Ryker.

    I like it, but I don't $180 like it.

    Hopefully someone else will come out with something priced a little more realistic.

    That would be a nice addition to the Ryker! Installation video looked easy enough! For those that have a Ryker, nice addition if you choose it.

    I'm seriously considering it. But I'll hold off for now, see what might be coming down the pike.

    Interesting and if you compare price to other accessories not really out of line. Hmm replaceable ball, opens a whole extra customization options...

    Nothing seems to be cheap for these trikes from that group of popular vendors. Got to pay to play, cost of admission I guess!

    Looks like a killer option. Can't wait ...

    PS - anyone complaining about the price - I paid three times that for a jockey shift on my Ural, and figure it was money well spent ...

    Wondering who will be the first person to put a skull head on the shifter?

    What else is there?

    I'm actually considering getting one of these too. I'm not crazy about the price and I would feel guilty spending that much on myself...but I could ask for it as a birthday gift.

    An "eight ball" was also popular back in the day. That might look very cool on the Ryker.

    Unless you're handicapped, or really short, I dont understand why people are putting levers, grips, handles, motorcycle gear shift levers or anything else to assist in shifting. If you shift it as its designed, and as this young lady explains, it doesn't get any easier.

    I don't have any trouble shifting it, other than its an annoyance sometimes hunting around for it with my foot. I just think the lever/knob would be fun...and the Ryker is all about fun.

    I’ve pre-ordered. My wife is 5’0”, and finds the stock lever too awkward. It’s worth the 180 to let her relax about reversing.

    If you move the shift lever down anyone can shift with no problem. My wife is 5'2 1/2 and had a hard time moving the shift lever into reverse. I simply removed the shift lever from the bike and reinstalled it in a lower position. No need to buy any thing for the shift lever to make it easier to use. Here is a link on how to do it. It really is easy and make all the difference in the world. I don't understand why Can Am didn't position it in that location to begin with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvILrxofOJc

    That sounds like a lot of fun, but how about a suicide shift with a throttle on one side of the handlebars and spark on the other. That kept you busy!
