    Is that a heel/toe shifter?

    It looks as if it is a cast piece.

    Trying to to mill some thing similar out of bar stock would be prohibitatively expensive. Buying the part would be cheaper.
    My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.

    Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.

    If you have access to some (scrap) stock and the proper equipment, that's a pretty easy/cheap part to fab.

    Finishing to match...Whole other issue.

    ETA: the splines at the attach point will definitely add time and cost.

    And I'm just talking about the arm/lever, not the pegs and rubber (probably inexpensive stock parts anyway).

    If it was available for retail purchase, I'd have have pluncked down my cash.

    With regard to the shifter, I'm all about function at this point.

    Well here's your chance to corner a niche market, have a fab shop make you a dozen or so. Keep one and sell the rest. Yours will end up being free and you will have a nice wad of cash from selling the rest.......

    To me it looks like the heel part of that shifter was added on to the stock shifter welded on smoothed out and powder coated. Looks like an easy part to fab with a water jet an TIG welder.

    What's the spline dia. and # of teeth? I have a beemer r1100rt (maybe) in the scrap pile. That's what it looks like to me.
