It must be a flat tracker since it has a flat tire!:welcome:

As for the shifter I would either custom bend a universal shifter or cut the shaft and pin the shifter in place where it is supposed to be. What ever you do, don't weld it. There is enough of that BS going around already.

the only advise I have on the shifter is cut the shaft and weld the shifter on :lol:. I wouldnt advise cutting the frame just to fit a shifter, just find a junk '83 motor

The previous owner did just that on my R, to use an 81-82 shift shaft. He cut a chunk out and welded angle iron to the frame. It's pretty stout, but a hack job by even my standards. :rolleyes:

It's actually pretty stout, 1/4" angle with a half lb. of welding rod. :lol: foot peg is welded on too.
