[QUOTE="davidd, post: 128508, member: 1177"] It is a hand shifter attached to the indicator. It is the only means of shifting that has worked so far. In general, both the Triumph and Vincent gearboxes have failed to shift properly when the engine produces high BHP. They work fine when in the pits and never miss a shift or find false neutrals. Under serious pressure, they don't appear to work well and the rider has to work around the problems. If you shift normally by waiting for everything to slow down and work, you lose 20 MPH. If you miss a shift and get a false neutral, the engine stops because it fills with fuel and the fuel puts the fire out. The rider has do deal with all this while moving very fast, so there is quite a steep learning curve. David [/QUOTE]
