When I got my Goldwing converted about 1 1/2 years ago the installer added comfort controls for me, I've ridden it about 7,000 miles since. Last Friday the Missus and I went for a 35 mile lunch ride, after eating we got on the trike to head home, I made one shift and the shifter went limp, no shift, so I pulled into a parking lot to check it out, didn't take long to realize I needed to get the trike home so we called a tow service in our town and they came and hauled us home. I pulled off the chrome side cover and could see the linkage, the clip had came off the pivot pin and disconnected the linkage. I pulled the cowl and lower panel and hooked it back up and this time installed a circular snap ring. if you have comfort controls you might want to look at the linkage next time you have the side cover off,
