Gear Shift Lever for 175/200

[ddog71]

 Will the gear shift lever for the 90M work for the 175 and 200.??   Thanks... Tim

The 90 lever will certainly fit the 175/200 gearshift shaft (all Bridgestones use the same gearshift spline pattern), but the 175 lever is bent out further than the 90 lever to clear the left-hand carb cover. I think you will probably find the 90 lever will foul the carb cover, and as the lever is a casting it's quite likely to break if you try bending it to clear.

If you find a 90 lever really cheap (i.e. for free) it might be worth a shot, but otherwise it's probably best to wait for the correct lever to turn up.

I lost the bidding on this one from England. It went for just over $48.00 (with shipping). I contacted the seller in Canada to see if he had any more. He hasn't responded. ....  Tim

Hang in. One will turn up and probably for less than $48...

Tim, another option for you to consider is checking out the craigslist ads in the classifieds and look for the rattiest/cheapest (is that a word?  ) bikes you can find. Contact the seller and inquire if he/she would be willing to part the bike out. If so, make them an offer on the stuff you need.

I'll keep an eye out on other sources for you..... good luck!

I won the bid on the second one that came up on ebay (from the same ebay seller: "bsaddict" in England). In fact, I was the ONLY bidder. He started the bidding at what the first one sold for.!!
