Kind of interesting, if you look at the picture of the broken shift lever, and the complete one, the break occurred at a casting seam.

Not a common failure, but another place to look at on occasion.

well spotted with the casting seam. Makes it seem as though my one possible had a hairline crack there all along until one day just giving up.

Something uniquely Australian will be on its way shortly.

Had a friend do something similar a few years ago, and stated, just send something uniquely Australian, and check the link,'cause this is what he got in return !

I'm afraid if I carried one of those that my exhaust note may go up a couple of octaves. I could be mistaken for riding a sportbike.  ;D
Keep your bike in good repair: motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking.

nice pedal.

looks as though you could even run the linkage vertically to one of the bolt holes.

I'm not sure what that would accomplish!  :-?  Those holes are to make the length adjustable
