Honda GL-1800 Shifter Lever Upgrade (Instructions)
Have you ever wanted to adjust the height of your shifter. Do you want to shorten the shift action to achieve a more positive shift. This kit will do both. Our Rod Ends are tighter than Honda's stock economy ends (see video). With stock shifter you can raise or lower in approx 1" increments. With our kit you can raise or lower in approx 3/16" increments. With our kit you have the option to use the existing hole and maintain the stock shifter throw or you can drill an additional hole and shorten the throw by 30%. If you send me your shifter I will install the kit and turn it around to you in 1 day or you can buy the kit and install it yourself (Instructions are included)
P/N DHS-11252-kit only Price $35.00 (shipping included)
P/N DHS-11252-complete Price $55.00 (shipping included) (requires you send me your shifter. E-mail me for details)

Looks similar to aftermarket linkages offered for the BMW LT's. They removed some of the slop and had much larger ball end bolts, that failed pretty regular. I had one break on me on a 200 mile ride. Luckily I was at the end and only had to ride about 2 miles, stuck in second gear.
Price looks to be very reasonable.

To the members who have installed this, does it help with the clunky shifting, particularly from 1st to 2nd?
I thought about installing that linkage but my common sense side and mechanical skills tell me that if the original issue is just 1st to 2nd gear then it has to be originating in the gear box. If it was a slop issue it would be in all gears....JMO.
All I know since I don't have a problem with the shift from 1st to second is the shift is crisper and shorter, gives it a less sloppy feel. Maybe they fixed the tranny in 2015
