You don't see them at all this is the first all most complete one I've ever seen advertised .I would ask for more $ .I paid $250 ish and mine has a second hand lever and cable the last right shift brake lever Nos sold for $150 us alone if you want to make your gtr super rare and are used to changing with your right foot I would lash out snap it up as you probably won't ever see one again

The seller is a member of this site and posted it in the "Classifieds" section of this site before posting it on eBay.  When he sells some parts they always seem to be first-rate.

I concur Coxy, this is a great deal, no way would a person be able to find half the parts required to build a new one yourself...DL

I'm on the hunt for the rear brake lever as well,and gtr handlebars if anyone has any for sale.to be honest I don't see me ever fitting the shift lever, but as I was buying some other parts thought I'd get a lever thrown in,    Just in case !

For those of you that haven’t put 2 & 2 together yet, I am the member that has this kit on eBay.

Everything you see in the “kit” is absolutely necessary to convert your 350 to a right shift setup. The one piece missing that would make this a complete kit is the super rare and hard to find special kick starter. (good luck trying to find one) Fortunately, and from what I’ve read in previous threads on this site, it is also the one piece that is NOT absolutely necessary to make this work. Some have moved the kick starter further out on the shaft, others have reshaped the “left” brake pedal and one member is currently reshaping a regular kick start lever. Others say just don’t do a full follow thru with your kick. Who knows.....

Anyway, yes you can piece things together here and there, but the hardest to find pieces like the left brake pedal and the “made of unobtainium” kick start lever will take you much longer (if ever) to round up. Since eBay & Paypal are going to want their piece of the pie, I rather give a member here a discount. So if you’re interested and want it, I’ll knock $50 off the current price.


EDIT: This kit has been sold

Over a year ago, I informed Mr. Swapmeetman what both those items are for, yet he continues to list them as GTO items.  ???

Paul Ross (mr swapmeet guy)  does not care what you are telling him,  He was on this site before, always being aggressive and an ass
i really wish no one would support him as it has said hateful things about us ( the bs gang here) or to who he does not like.  Jeff bar
