Mystery Solved

Ok, so finally received a seal kit and took off the clutch cover to investigate this shaft more thoroughly. Got the cover off and Voila! the mystery of the odd spline size is solved. Apparently the shaft broke off at the seal (very common) and instead of getting a replacement shaft and opening up th...

CA77 Shift Shaft Spline size

Sorry for the delay in responding. I had to go do my real life for a minute. I will take a picture of the most recent shift lever that arrived and that I heated with torch and opened up the spline gap almost .100" but it still doesn't fit. WTF? I'll get a pic on here soon, plus a pic of the bike and...

CA77 Shift Shaft Spline size

In response to someone's comment about the splines looking boogered up - they are not. They are actually fine. I've not been able to find a serial number breakdown for year of manufacture so I'm wondering how you are determining the bike being possibly a 66+? Not being argumentative, just trying to...

Update on shift shaft diameter

It's pretty difficult to understand the original shop manual for the bikes as the Jap's wrote English as poorly as they spoke it....just sayin.... One thing I saw in one of the chapters was that some Dreams had what they are referring to as a "rotary" style transmission. Also saw shift lever I.D. sp...

CA77 Shift Shaft Spline size

I'm getting super frustrated trying to find the correct shift lever/pedal for my 1961 Dream Touring 305. Literally all the replacement stock shafts on ebay and all the restoration parts site only have one spline size: 0.400" more or less. Oddly, my shaft measure O.D. 0.500 more or less.
