Pics Of How I Mounted My Quicksifter
I was able to mount my Dynojet Quickshifter without drilling my side cover. I got my idea from swiftkart. I used the "L" shaped bracket with the longest bolt in the kit along with a spacer and screwed it into the speed sensor hole. I drilled out the threads on the end hole of the bracket so I could tighten the screw down with it grabbing the threads. I cut the small side off of the "L" bracket because it looks nicer. I also cut a small spacer to fit between that bracket and the Quickshifter. This wasn't completely necessary but it keeps the shifter out away from the bracket and allows for more adjustment. I painted the brakcet and the spacers black. I loosened the bolt on the speed sensor wire holder and ran the Quickshifter wire under it as well.
Mounting it this way prevents having to drill the side cover on your motorcycle but better yet, it also gives you more adjustment for the shifter. I can rotate that bracket to any position I like and I can also move the top of the shifter to a different hole. These shifters can be tricky to get adjusted and I know some people had to cut the shaft on there shifter as well. This is fully adjustable on the top and bottom.
One last thing I need to mention, the most important thing when installing this Quickshifter is to MAKE SURE you drill the hole in the shift lever in the correct spot. This goes for any installation not just the way I did it. If you drill it to far out towards your foot, there is too much travel. The quickshifter only has a limited amount of travel to work correctly. If you drill it to far in towards the motor then there might not be enough travel to properly trigger the sensor. Dynojet wants the hole drilled in a spot that is between 7-11mm of travel. The travel is determined by pushing the shift lever all the way down until it engages into first gear then let off so it is now in the resting position. This is the distance of travel that needs to be within 7-11mm. I measured mine so I would have 9mm of travel.
Now it's time to take it out and see if I can get it to work correctly for every shift. I know some people have had issues with it missing gears. Hopefully with some fine adjustments I can get it to work every time. I'll post back with my results. My fingers are now crossed.

Thanks Bently. From what I have read, apparently your shifter works perfect. I bought this from SmokinZX14. He was having troubles getting it to work correctly. He was missing shifts. We did try adjusting it once but I think he gave up on it. He loves air shifters so he decided not to mess with this any more and go that route. I'll give give it my best shot and post my results later.

Hello,
Yes, the positioning of the Dynojet "Linear sensor" is critical. Maybe to help better set it up, remember that their linear sensor is actually just a switch to tell the Powercommander when to interrupt the engine. This point is also when about 15mm of the shaft is exposed.
I found that for the Dynojet, your best bet is the handlebar button. This way, you can just get your foot ready on the shift lever, press the button, and you'll slip right into the next gear. Repeat for each gear. The downside is that you won't have the neat looking sensor mounted on the side of your bike, but you won't have to mess around setting it up.
That's just my 2 cents. We are also a quick shifter manufacturer, and have seen the rest. Our MS-100 quick shifter does away with the setup hassles you mention, plus not having to adjust the kill time.
Chao,
