it is both possible and effective to fabricate the paddles yourself and then if you give me the length i can have a cable made to suit we have done this for a few people now including Chris before the turbo busa was fitted
Steve, are you suggesting a manual cable type shifter with a single cable running from the steering column to the gearlever on the engine? KTMkid, surely this would be the cheapest and simplest option until such time that you can afford to go electronic?

The first example is how I would personally have it with the changing up gear happening as the lever is pulled towards you and changing down gear as you push the lever away (feels natural with the forces acting upon you during acceleration and deceleration). The second way is opposite and like they have it in Smart cars - feck knows why but incase thats what you're used to then thats a way of doing it.
All of the below drawings are assuming a right handed driver changing gear with their left hand. Also that the Gear Handle is fixed to the spaceframe not the steering column.
Open to comments.........

Or these: http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3a697c7b73
But you could get some lasered ones from aluminium or steel for about £20, if you can draw it up on cad you can have any shape you want to position exactly where you want. If you need it drawn up let me know and I could help you out and get a price from a laser company we use at work. (Just got a price for some 10mm thick wheels spacers and they were £9 each)

If you do not fix it to the column then Where would I fix it? I do not have the extra bar which comes under the dash and has a D shape to it with bearings.
Ben I just about email so CAD drawing is far from my capabilities. but If you can draw something up that will fix to the steering wheel or Q.R. mount and still work with the cable, then I am more than interested. I know this is asking a lot from you all.

I also ordered this steering wheel which already has the buttons in it.
