Hi John,

Thanks so much for your prompt reply... I can tell you that the Gas Gas
community here in the States, and internationally as well, is chomping at
the bit to have an alternative to the stock shift lever... The general
feeling among owners is that the Gas Gas EC/DE series bikes are as close
to perfect as you can buy off the shelf... The 2 outstanding exceptions
are the self-retracting (read shin-scarring) kick-stand and the too-low
shift lever with the too-short tip. The only real alternative we have now
is to pay the $50 or so to buy an OEM shift lever for a late model EC 125,
which is only marginally better.

Any Gas Gas dealer can get the shift shaft for you... I typically buy
parts from my local dealer in Denton, TX, SMS Racing. However, if you want
to order online, you can find just about anything Gas Gas at
http://www.gofasters.com


Stephen,

Done. Thanks, we have the parts on the way. FYI, we will make the lever
the same length as the 125. With optional tips from -5mm shorter to +20mm
longer this should provide for any size rider. In the future, GoFaster will
have our parts available - tell your friends!

John
