Shift linkage ideas

[M8BRUNO2014]

Hi everyone I'm building a cart with a gsxr1000 motor in it. The one thing that I'm caught up on is coming up with a linkage design that will work. Meaning needing to go from the factory "trans" maybe cable? (Not sure how to setup brackets) maybe solid linkage? (Would need a 90° angle to the right then a 90° to the left and up the center of the cart?) Not opposed to paddles either it's just about what will work... any ideas welcome!

a dual cable design will work..
find yourself a shifting lever for a FnR gearbox (any really)

it usually comes with a cam like that:


And such cam (matching splines that is!)
is essentially all you need to fab a cable shifter.

Save yourself the hassle and use a Morse cable and be done with it. Go look at my zx12r go kart for reference.

How do I find you're zx12r build so I can see what you're working with?

please edit your post if you just want to add another picture
instead of posting three times in a row with nothing but a single image

Too bad the one thing that cannot be seen in any of these images is how the shifting linkage is done

I will take a better shot. The last photo shows most of it. The chrome shifter is next to the steering wheel. The rod runs down and is on a pivot. When you push forward on the shifter it moves a solid rod that goes to an arm on the transmission shifter. Simple and strong. All rods no cables. The clutch lever is on the shifter arm.
