I am looking for a KTM double ended shifter shaft to use for the RH shifter on my Kenny Roberts Penton Flat Tracker project. Does anyone have one, or know where I can get one, or have one made? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as they were originally set up this way. Thanks, Mike

I've got one from a 72 jackpiner that has a double end, it only sticks out of the right side by about 3/4", just enough for a shifter. Would this work? Wildman

Wildman,
I think that will work, as I was told that early 73 KTM engines had them also.
You have mail! Many thanks, Mike

................hi Mike,early Harescambler's(as well as Jackpiner's) had the provision to shift either side,I'll look in my "stuff" for one......................

Actually, any KTM engine with the knock out plug on the right case and a 14mm shifter shaft can be made a right or left side shifter.  Bultaco City!;)

Kip,
Thanks, thats great to know, although I am going for as close to stock looking as possible, and all of the KRP pictures I have seen and one in person, (Rons), have both ends visible and splined. I'm building both a 77 400 and a 77 250 engine for it so it could be possible to compete in different vintage classes with an experienced rider. (Not me). I personally don't care for garage queens that just sit around and look pretty. Mike
