Not trying to revive an old thread, but yeah that's exactly what I'm doing. This happened to me last night on I 95. I managed to pull over and began the search for a bolt on the bike that would fit. Turns out the allen-head bolts that hold the footpegs in place are the same thread pattern. Pulled one out of the right side peg (there are like five of them) and popped it in on the shifter and presto! I had a functioning shifter! The real parts are in the mail as we speak.
