Will it fit my bike?

V-Rod Night Rod Special models from 2007 onwards. (forward control models only)

Technical support

As with all Translogic products there is free technical support over the phone and by email for our customers should you require any assistance with the Powershift installation.

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/hand during it's shift cycle culminating in the perfect gearshift simulation.  The TLS-PS-HD-VR system comes with a CNC machined aluminium handle bar bracket which houses the 2 weather shift buttons and is suitable for Harley Davidson V-Rod models. 

This Powershift system has a built-in quickshifter feature with AST (Adaptive Shift Technology) + Intellishift^TM to facilitate full throttle upshifts without the use of the clutch, there is also 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).  The optional Remote Shiftlight TLS-RS can be added to this system.  Gears can be selected manually after the shifter has been installed. 

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) incorporating 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, then there are 4 interrupt wires to be connected to the front and rear injector signal wires.  The `F' series ECU is mounted via the supplied bracket to the back of the horn cover resulting in a neat factory type installation.  

The CNC handle bar bracket is mounted under the left hand switch gear mouldings.   The Powershift shifter requires attaching between the drop down link gear lever and the chassis/frame via the supplied mounting bracket.
