Dave,

From the pic and what you have said, you need to put the standard "rose eye" in each end of the black rod. This forms the gear linkage. This will then ling the gear lever from the rear set to the standard pivot the should be on the splined gear shaft. The gear lever is then mounted to the foot peg with the standard pivot bolt from your existing gear lever.

If this still sounds like rubbish I will have a full set up ready to go back on my bike mid week, I will photo and send the pic's.

Cheers mate, I think Kev has sorted me out but can you send the pics anyway.

TTFN
