I am in the market for a quick shifter and was curious if any of you have recommendations? I am leaning toward the DP quick shifter, but wanted to hear about experience with other units.

Will be purchasing the Annitori RL H & M Quickshifter in a few weeks. Have heard nothing but A++ reviews about it all over the internet. Google, Yahoo, You Tube it!!!!! You'll see!!! Plus a buddy of mine has one and of course he loves it, roughly $280, plug and play less than 30 mins installation Stand Alone QS....

+1 on the Annitori HM Quickshifter I got mine from their ebay site. You’ll need to buy a shift rod off them too since you need a shorter 1 than standard.
Remove the old shift rod mount the new 1 with the QS attached, plug straight into the (x2) injector loom 1 wire to the battery a couple of cable ties then go try to wipe the smile off your face.

Thanks for all the replies, saved me some cash. Just ordered the Annitori kit and saved enough cash to get a EVR wet slipper clutch.

I'm in no way affiliated with this company but I'm also considering purchasing one for my bike.

Remember, you have to measure your STOCK shift-rod in mm minus the threads, so thats just the body. THEN subtract 50mm from that number for the sensor unit and thats the size rod you need to order....

Hm. On their website they are saying to use 90mm rod for 848. Do you know if that is the correct one?

You may want to actually measure it. I have Woodcraft rearsets on my 848 race bike and it took a 115mm rod.

That is correct because my 848 shift rod is 140mm. Subtract 50mm from that and you have 90mm.

Does it work with the GP pattern on the stock linkage?

Yep works in reverse shift. It cuts out for such a short period of time that you don't notice it. Yes it still will when you pull the clutch in, but on a lumpy V-twin, you barely hear the cut in revs.

The Annitori works in either direction, ie it will cut revs for a millisec going up or down the box. Remeber it is not shifting the gears for you, (all it does is tell the coils not to fire the spark plug) merely unloading the gears for a millisec for you to change gear under power - therefore it doesn't matter that it has a short cut out on a downshift, as you don't have the same force on the gearbox.

hey im considering of getting one, are these hard install? can anyone do a write up?

rkorner

· #17 · Oct 21, 2012

give me a couple of days, mine is on its way here.

seems simple enough, just get to the coils then attach connectors in line, route everything out of the way. and set to whatever setting you want.

I'm curious if you can access coils without raising tank.

rkorner

· #19 · Oct 21, 2012

you need to for the vertical cyclinder. raising the tank isnt all that bad though.

I installed mine this evening. No need to raise the tank to install, you can access the coil plugs to piggy back off of just be removing the left side faring. About an hour job from start to finish.

Rear coil piggy back, the yellow, with white tag (V).

Front coil piggy back, also has white tag( I believe U)

Control unit under seat

Let me know if anyone comes up with a better place to locate.

Sorry this is not a complete install write up, all my pictures were taken after completion. Have not had a chance to test it because my pipes are off getting coated and waiting to install a slipper clutch.
