Suicide Shifter idea for a build

[Silverbeach]

I am having a Gulf Livery tribute built and want to put a suicide shifter on the rear to go with my Shimano 3spd.

The following are the options I have come up to.

Don't like the HBBC name on the side.

, like this but it is expensive.

I see that project 346 has one but seems to be out of stock.

Other suggestions appreciated.

Put a cool sticker over the HBBC or grind it off?

Cut an 8 ball in half and stick it on there.

Suicide Shifter 3-Speed, several good designs all in one thread in " How To " on page 3 near the top.

I use the grip shift, a mountain bike bar end, cut off piece of handlebar, hose clamp, screw in bar plug, to hold it all in place, all ideas I got from this forum.

*edit* talk to text made, "to hold all in place," into, "to doll all place."

how about this?

I've deleted rubber grip from the shifter, cutted off plastic ears that were holding the grip, just left four of them, then putted 31,4mm seatpost clamp so that the gap which holds the bolt was right above these ears. Then inserted the stem that hols the mirror (as seen on a picture) and screwed with 2 M8 nuts. Then used threaded ahead stem for mounting the shifter on a seatpost instead of seatpost clamp.

The HBBC is a knock off from the shifty bast*rd go for the original!!!

I just used a modified version of HippieKruiser ideal and it worked well! These are all great ideals. Thanks

here is mine, I just slipped my seat clamp over a piece of leather.
