Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re:shift-lever

The reason I changed the shift-lever was because the tie-rod bearings were 
shot. The dust cover's were gone & it had a lot of play.  The foot peg & 
bracket came with it.  ($12 on e-bay!)

I got the tiny punch marks lined up.  They were only off about an 1/8 of an 
inch.  The pivot is lubed.  It shifts smoother now.

I don't know if both of the peg bracket's were bent, but the shift-lever 
tie-rod sure is close to the oil cap.  I thought both ends would be more at 
90-degrees to the arm/shifter

Now I have more time. Put the bike on the center stand and move the rear wheel 
with your hand and shift it with the other hand. (not running, of course) The 
travel 1>2, 2>1 is the longest movement of all. Shift OK this way ? Y/N ?  Or 
just when you ride it ? If it is tight when not running, does the link get 
jammed at the extremes of motion ? Watch closely...  If so move the cranks 
around til it doesn't. Try again. How about the pivot for the shifter (on 
frame) bent ? Like it fell on that side ? Did you clean and grease the pivot 
for the shifter when you had it apart ? detail, details... If it is only tight 
when you actually ride it, we'll address that next.
