Yes, the shifter shaft is bent, and will need replacing. This one is my mistake. Removed a cover to get a better grip on the engine. We set it down wrong (on this shaft) and bent it.

If they bought one out now - I'd buy one again. No gimmicks, just a very nice machine to ride. Held the road extremely well in the bends. Rear shocks were an experiment (freebies) but didn't last long on it. No improvement over standard shocks. Added extras apart from the top box, Fiamm air horns - vast improvement over the tin that buzzed, and Cibie drive and fog lamps. Not that the exsting headlamp was bad...just needed that extra lighting at high speed. Did about 16000 miles a year on it. Enough said!
