As I stated in the former thread, the shifter side needed to be "Clocked" to allow you room to get your size 13 boot under the shift pedal. I have gotten the new plate back and here is the result. I could not possibly be happier with the shifter side, it is PERFECT. I made a revised "Clocked" plate for the brake side and there is a very small flaw in the mating of the plate to the brake pedal. If you were not looking for imperfections, this would go unnoticed, I'll point it out to the Kaptin for correction. I will be sending the templates to KaptinAmerika for him to start mass producing the 6" kit.
I have designed the 4" and it will hopefully be ready for install and sending to the Kaptin in about a week. My cousin is waiting on more rod stock to make the shift rod.
This the original brackets and necessary rod, bolts, and brake line extension.
Here is the revised "Clocked shifter side"
Here is the revised "Clocked brake side"
Shifter side plate installed
Shifter re-installed in "Clocked position"
Brake plate installed
Brake re-installed in "Clocked position"
Please take note to the fact that I had to cut the cone-washer length as
well as the attaching bolt to clear the frame, the Kaptin may offer a new
spacer and bolt to avoid any fab work.
This is why we did this kit in the first place, note the uncomfortable riding
position of the 6'4" "Postman" (aka-Benny the Killer-my bowhunting buddy)
Note the much more comfortable riding position. Bear in mind, this is a very
easy kit to install for anyone that can turn a wrench. The hardest part is
bleeding the brake after installing the brake line extension, and that just takes patience. This kit is a little long for me @ 6'2 1/2", my right leg lays
against the breather, otherwise I like the riding position. 4" should fit me perfect, my plates are next.
As I said earlier, KaptinAmerika will be making these kits soon!
4" kit is on the way soon, I'll post pictures when it is finished.

I would love to have some 4 inch ones.
