    So, I got pretty tired of how cruddy the stock shifter was on my 2011 WR300, and couldn't seem to find anything offered in the USA. But on E-bay, there were some reasonably priced aluminum replacement shifters available from the United Kingdom, so I took a chance and ordered one.
    35 bucks and less than two weeks later, I had a really nice shifter for my bike.:banana:

    Nice, thanks! I ordered the black and red one for a few $ more. I've got a Hammerhead tip on mine, but the stock lever is too soft.

    husky jim do you reckon you could measure up the difference between the 2 shifters pretty please? total length of each or just the difference whatever easiest. size 12/13 feet could do with a nice long shifter like that. hammerhead tip on driven shifter wearing out rapidly after a few years work. does it rub at all on the back of the clutch cover, looks close? cheers mate

    I measured the Driven shifter it's 115mm from center of shift shaft to the tip. The 07 ebay shifter is 125mm so it's 10mm longer. Not a whole lot but enough to feel a difference. No it does not even come close to rubbing the clutch cover.

    Thanks for the info. Is the tip the same size as stock WR300? Have you bent it yet?
    My bends again, more and worse everytime I cr...errr...the bike falls :rolleyes:

    Ordered from DD's linky last night, shipped this morning. Nice! That seller's store has many Husky levers and pedals and a bunch of other small bits. Good find.

    Got that shifter and installed it. Shipped from Scotland :thumbsup: and arrived quickly. Looks good, but it's @ 1/2" shorter than stocker with a Hammerhead tip!
    I've got sz 11/12 boots, so hope it doesn't cramp me. Haven't ridden with it yet, feels ok and riding this afternoon.

    As you can see by the original post, it is identical to the stock lever from my 2011 WR300. I would have liked to have had a half inch longer lever also. The shifters on my WR125 and TE450 both reach an extra half inch away from the foot peg (also, both were nice stock aluminum items), so it was sort of baffling why the 300 had such a goofy shifter on it in the first place.:excuseme:

    I bought the same shifter from ebay. Fits really well, but I ended up bending mine severely the first ride of the season:mad:. RFX, Driven, and this plain silver one all seem to be identical and from the same factory. They seem to wear out and can't be tightened up after a few rides. I don't know if it's because the aluminum wears faster or what? I put the RFX one I already had back on, and as some had suggested I enlarged the gap where it mounts on the shaft with a file. Still good after the first ride.

    That's correct, I just compared shifters again. I have stock, stock w/Hammerhead and the RFX. The HH tip adds @ 1/2" to the stock shifter length.

    yeh I had one of the rfx shifters & destroyed it not long after install. to be fair though i would have destroyed any shifter with the get off I had & subsequent bike sliding down steep hill episode. driven shifter with +20mm HH tip has lasted years so far, HH tip looking worse for wear from boots rubbing during changes is all. just old school bikes Dirtdame with old school crappy levers. maybe they had a few thousand laying around in warehouse storage & needed to use em up? surely someone during testing looked at that lever & said "hey you know what? that lever is shit! maybe we should update to a nice new ally one?"

    hmmm...after an hour of hard riding I noticed my new shifter was loose. Tightened it on the trail, but was too far back in the woods to risk it. I think the above mod with a file should help and maybe a longer bolt with a locknut too.
    Otherwise, it feels good and no prob with my big feet.

    btw, a longer bolt did the trick. 3 hours riding and the shifter is fine.

    What size bolt and lock nut?

    Where did you find those? Metric stuff can be a real PITA to find around here.
