I rebuilt a 77 XSD a couple years back and have loved tooling around town on it. I have TC bros forward controls and some home made linkage. From day one the shifter has always been very hard to shift, Im talking probably 10-15 pounds of pressure to go up or down. Ive got a manual but havent been able to figure out if there was some kind of adjustment, or maybe my linkage doesnt have enough leverage. Id like some advice and some opinions on what to do? My girlfriend wants to start riding, and this is the perfect size bike for her, but she doesnt have enough strength to shift it.
Thanks for any help, here are a couple pictures to show you what I have going on..
