lets see those old school / custom shifters.

Rotary shift knob for SA 3-speed inspired by an uninspiring dealer loaner car.

Switch for the lights is set inside the knob. Here it is lit up:

I had to try this at least once. The lever is 5/16" all thread covered with a piece of chromed toilet supply line. Knob is an old magazine cap from a Remington 1100.

Here is my Schwinn I put 3 speed to. This bike is an adult chopper. You need to be 6' tall at least to ride it.

Retro Rocket's 3x7 grip shifters moved into rocket body. Switches for headlight and tail light at top of each shifter and the wires travel through the shift tube and collar, then through the extension springs into the rocket body.

Working on stick shift 2.0 for my Townie now. Got the shifter itself working well, but need to develop a better mount. Not opposed to making a tank plate and bolting the shifter to that, but I'd like to find a "smaller" solution.
All thread rod with toilet supply cover as earlier model. Knob is a wooden "Doll head" from craft store and cover plate is a cover for a bathtub over flow.

*** UPDATE ***
Finally worked out the kinks. The new mounting clamp is a chainlink fence part. The original clamp has been moved forward to keep the nose of the shifter from going too far up when downshifting into 1st.

I used an old BMX headstem and some U bolts for my under seat suicide shifter [emoji1605][emoji1605][emoji1605]

I used an NOS Bendix on my Boney Finger YEARS ago and did the same with my Lakester last year right before I sold it.

This one is on a Spyder on eBay now. Hurst stick on a Spyder shifter.

I upgraded the custom shifter on my Electra. No more clamp on lever, this one is "geared" right to the grip shift.
Took a little time to carve out the teeth on the aluminum lever and the PVC spacer, but being quarantined lately, I had some time on my hands.

Simple little shifter mod to convert grip shifter to a thumb lever...

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Clever clever!

 

[arty dave]

Yes! Show us more!

Here's my custom bit of kit for a 3spd nexus shifter. Used an old BMX stem and piece of handlebar to clamp mine to the downtube.
