DESCRIPTION

We have developed this left foot gearchange kit primarily for Norton "Featherbed" frames but also for Seeley and Standard AMC Framed G50 & 7R machines

Basically, we run a crossover shaft under the swing arm pivot spindle, as we believe that this gives the best options for a good footrest / gearlever / brake pedal positions. The feedback from our riders is that it is excellent with our 6 speed TTI Gearboxes, but there is more pedal travel with 5 & 4 speed gear boxes. 

It is neccessary to drill holes in your frame, and it is better to braze bosses in position on the frame. These modifications are not obtrusive, but you need to be aware of them. 

We assume that you have a cable operated rear brake pedal with a 5/16" x 26TPI cable adjuster on the brake plate & a cam operating lever that is no more than 1/4" (6.5mm) thick. If not, you will also need to order the supplementary cable conversion kit.

Our left foot change kit assumes that you already have our race footrest kit which is mounted on the swing arm spindle & uses a 5/8" dia x 5/8" long pivot area for the pedals. If you need to order the footrests, please go to: https://www.tga.co.uk/products/norton-featherbed-race-footrest-kit/

We need to know what change direction your gearbox currently is with a right foot change. There are two options: 

With a straight pedal facing forward, if 1st gear is up, that is a standard "Norton" change, if 1st gear is down, that is "Reverse" change. See picture. 

Now we need to know what change direction you want with your left foot change:

"Road" Shift is down for 1st gear, "Race" Shift is up for 1st gear. 

Our kit allows for swapping between road shift & race shift reasonably easily. Instructions are included. 

However, if you have a low level exhaust on the right hand side, it becomes very "busy" in that area and your options are restricted, see picture. With a low pipe and "Norton" change gearbox you can only have "race" shift. With a low pipe and "reverse" change gearbox you can only have "road" shift. 

The kit comes with full instrictions and all components are seperately available in the event of crash damage.
