Hi Everyone

As a new joiner to this forum, and potential owner of VFR1200 DCT, I am hoping someone can give some advise on how to make the bike work for my situation.  Unfortunately I cannot operate the shift switches on the left handlebar, and prefer manual shifting over full automatic mode, so it seems I have a couple of options:-

1.  Find and fit a foot shifter kit, which I am told Honda no longer supply, so if anyone knows of a kit I would love to hear about it.

2.  Find a way of adding shift switches on the right handlebar.  Race toggle switches are easy to find but I am not sure about extending/moving the shift wires from left to right handlebar.

So any advise or pointers anyone can share will be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Grant

Hi Grant.

Have you discounted purchasing a non-DCT model?

Although I can use a clutch it is not very easy so the safer option for me is the DCT as it removes the need for the clutch.

From the wiring diagram, there is nothing magical about the shift switches on the left bar, so that should be easy enough to replicate on the right in some form.

Awesome information.  Thank You.

Hi Grant. Have you thought of contacting the NABD or other organisations that specialise in adapting for riders particular needs. They will have lots of contacts/ advice and may be able to put you in contact with a specialist who can modify the OEM arrangement for you. Alternatively, it could be that a 'tuneable' aftermarket quick shifter system (up and down) might be a solution. However, I could understand you wanting to keep as standard look as possible. Couple of links below might help
