Just getting into motorized biking by converting my Diamondback Wildwood Deluxe mountain bike. So far, I've installed a 44 tooth drive sprocket on the wheel. Mounted a rear rack mounted 2-liter fuel tank, installed twist throttle/kill switch and dual brake lever on right handlebar, clutch lever on left side handlebar. I'll be picking up a 48cc engine kit next month.
Now here's little problem I've run into.... The bike has an 8-speed sprocket set. I've removed the front derailleur to make room for the engine. Any ideas for mounting a gear shifter (8-speed) on the left side of the handlebar? It seems as though all the available 8-speed shifters are made to be placed on the right side of the handlebar... Anyone know of a shifter that's made for the left side?
