REVIEWS - Trail Bikes Shifter - by West Anderson

I have been using this shifter for a couple weeks now and put it through its paces. The shifter is 1" longer than stock and the toe peg is about twice as wide as stock. This extra length and width makes for extra leverage and in turn makes it much easier to shift. The quality of the shifter is very good too. There isn't much chance you are going to bend it. From my experience, Trail Bikes only makes quality products and this is one of them. For $16 this is one item that everyone should have on their bike. I rate this shifter at a 10 of 10 stars.

About the Author: West Anderson - I have been riding dirtbikes since I was 6 years old and have never been off a bike since. I got into 50's about 2 years ago when I acquired a 1977 Z50 from a storage garage. Had the Z for about a year but I really wanted a xr50 bad once I started seeing trick ones riding around and I found out more about racing. So I sold my Z and found a used 2002 stock xr50. I rode stock for a couple of months. Meanwhile, I became a member of PlanetMinis and started learning everything I could about 50's and all of the aftermarket companies and parts available at the best prices. I now have a fast knowledge of 50's, what works, what doesn't, and can pretty much diagnose any problem that you may come across. Currently, my bike has a large amount of aftermarket parts on it and about the only things left stock are the frame, hubs, engine cases, crank, and tranny. I am starting to race my 50 as much as possible. Hitting as many local races here in Florida as I can, and I have done very well in my first couple of races. I ride and practice on it everyday and am always trying to find ways to run it into a corner harder and lean it into a rut further just to gain that edge.
