Shift handle for Rykers
I was doing some reading and came across a guy in Iowa that does some 3D printing and he designed a shift handle. It fits on the gear shaft and uses the factory bolt.

He had other colors, but my Ryker is black.

Got a link? Does this fit over the current rubber casing, or do you have to remove it and then slide this one the lever?

You have to remove the rubber, but it uses the factory bolt!!!!

I just moved my shifter back about 30 degrees and it works great. I never have to move it with my hand. It took about 15 minutes. Just loosen the bolt, lightly tap a sharp flat screwdriver into the shifter slot and you'll be good to go.

It's just too bad CanAm didn't put a bit more thought into the shifter. Some sort of pivoting bracket that would keep the lever tucked in tighter to the frame, add a longer handle, and now we're talkin'.
That said, I'm looking forward to seeing this hit the market. Currently in pre-order at Sling Mods ... I've got a similar conversion on my Ural and love it.

I did the same thing Rydernow did; rotated the stock shifter arm rearward.
Remove the socket-head screw holding the arm to the trike. You must back the screw all the way out because it fits in a grove in the serated shaft from the gearbox. Gently prise the shifter arm off the machine. This may require some prying with a flat bladed tool, or even resorting to a two-armed gear puller. Once the arm is off, put a little grease on the serations and press the shifter arm back onto the shaft at the desired new position. This may require a little judicious pounding, but it should go on fairly easily. Reinsert and tighten the socket-head screw.
I can now shift mine just using my foot without any problem, almost as easily as on a bike.
