E-Money Jockey Shift

 This concept started back from a convo I had with my good friend and confident Sean Rich of Hamilton NJ. This dude is super talented and has prob one of the best eyes for aesthetics that I have ever met. He is well known in the small following of DIY chopper dudes from Jersey and everything he does is world class perfection.  But enough about that piece of shit. So here it is, the showcase of what wound up getting glued together to present to you, the reader.....the E-Money shifter. Id like to add credit to one other helper who had an eye and opinion on this. none other than my little guy, Everett, hence why the shifter is named after him. It was his idea to add in the little coffin tabs to add a certain flow and smoothness to it all. Thanks Everett you made it way more time consuming but fuck does it look good.

Here is the finished product

The main portion is 1" C channel and coffin tabs are 18 guage sheet metal, as far as the base is concerned you could either make your own 3/16" or order them already laser cut from one of the big vendors like lowbrow. its a good idea to test fit on a trans because all dimension are not created equal especially after adding a layer of triple dipped spit shine.

Oxy-acetylene for the bends, its typically two or you could get crazier if you want. I don't know if you could do cold bends with c-channel, but I imagine that you can if you don't have a torch.  Add a little length of 3/8-24 for your knob. I made cuts along the top and bottom removing some material and smacking them inwards to get that sweet taper. tack it up and move along. 

Next up make some measurements the best you can and if you're wrong you could always add some filler that will make it nice and time consuming when it comes time for grinding and sanding. Those coffin tabs just have one bend in them and then massage into place.

Tacked in! Their it is in the rough, I use silicon bronze to wet this all in for ease of removal. Stackin dimes my ass.  Do not rush or you'll just spend more time on the back end dealing with your mess ups, ask me how i know.

This is the painful part. Blending. Go crazy, get meticulous or don't, its your creation, go until you cant go no more and that should definitely be sufficient. Rolocs and needle files, dremel tool, these all help greatly.

Finally..the payoff. Yeah you did. Honestly their is no better payoff then your friends being stoked on something you made and them running it on their bike.

Cheers Rick
