Enables gearshifts to be carried out by pressing a button

The Powershift shifter is the most compact of all the gear shifter systems available which can select gears both up and down the gearbox.  Neutral can be selected easily by momentarily pressing either the up or down buttons.   The success of this innovative design is due to the control of the shifter action and its operating characteristics in being able to mimic the speed and  movement of the human foot during it's shift cycle culminating in the perfect gearshift simulation.  The system comes with a CNC machined aluminium handle bar bracket which houses 2 weather proof tactile shift buttons and is fitted to the underside of the left hand switch gear housing.  Each button has gold plated contacts to ensure only the cleanest shift signal.  Gears can even be selected manually after the shifter has been installed.  This Powershift system features the Intellishift^TM Quickshifter, full throttle upshifts without the use of the clutch are possible, also there is an auto-upshift feature which enables upshifts to be carried out automatically at a user defined RPM for those essential drags starts and straightaways.  (the clutch must be used for downshifts)

General information

This Powershift system is electro-mechanical and therefore does not require any compressed air bottles or hoses like an air shifter system.  The unique shifter is a linear actuator design (not solenoid) incorporates a DC motor, spinning up at 25,000 RPM, planetary gearbox, lead screw arrangement and operates on a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) drive system for total control and longevity.

The Powershift ECU requires a single ignition-on wire to be attached to a suitable ignition-on supply, like a head light or brake light +12volt supply wire.    There are 2 ring terminal wires, battery positive and battery negative, that are simply placed on the battery terminals.  The Micro Logic control unit is mounted in a protected position under the rider/pillion seat.  

The CNC handle bar bracket is mounted to the underside of the switch gear mouldings.   The Powershift shifter requires attaching between the gear lever/drop down link and the chassis/frame via the supplied mounting bracket on the V-rod and Street-rod models.  The shifter is connected to the forward shift lever selector arm and the transmission casing via the supplied mounting bracket on the Softail models.  (The forward shift lever arm must be drilled for installation on the Softail models).
