Is it long enough to do a proper figure 8 loop around the shifter and not stop halfway up the bar top?

No. But you don't need to do 8 as it comes with 2 small pieces of cork to apply on shifters. Works out perfectly.

Yes Allen, it is long enough to make the figure 8, unless the bike handle is unusually big.

should with modifications, shifter bracket needs to be made, not in kit for AOD

It's possible but I don't advise it. To do that would mean readjusting the shift cable anytime you adjust the chain tension or if you remove the wheel to fix a flat. It's likely that after you've adjusted the chain tension enough you'll have run out of gear cable adjustment and you would then have to either relocate the cable stop or the position of the fixing bolt unit at the end of the shift cable. I looked at that on several of the bikes I've done and it just didn't work well.

Yes, left 3 and right 7, In my case I disassembled the right one and assembled in a way that it's not longer 7 speeds but "free travel" since my vintage bike used to have those "down tube" friction shifters and the rear wheel is 5 speeds, so basically it works like the old shifter but now I have the control on the handle bar.

Yes it is. Been awhile since I put it on, but as I recall it was 7/8th except the center which is 1 inch. I put it on a mountain bike frame and wanted to use the grip shifters on it. The grip shifters are for 7/8th inch ends. So that should work for you.

Yes, it will, considering the activation/pull ratio in your shifter. Also, it has enough space to fit a 7.1mm chain (7-8 speed), not anymore than so. Just adjust the limits and indexing.

No, it is only a shifter, it will be next to the brake lever on the bars. You will need a separate brake lever.

You could if you're using it with an 8 speed shifter but I wouldn't advise it. In other words, the answer has to be no. The 7 and 8 speed cassettes have the same width, end to end, in order to fit the frame spacing. So, by definition, the spacing of the individual gears has to different and must be matched to their respective shifters. Does that make sense?

I believe the photo is errant. What I received was a 7 speed. You definitely don't want to substitute an 8 speed on a 7 speed application. You'd have too much slack in the shifter cable (in position 8 on shifter) even if you adjusted the deraileur stops to avoid the chain falling off, and an annoying dead spot gathering up that slack when shifting back into the lower gears.

I can't say for sure about your shifters, but I mounted some old 7spd Deore shifters on these bars with no problem. Also some mountain brake levers which were fairly standard, so you'll probably be able to mount your shifters fine. I measured the bar's diameter, and it looks close to 22.2 mm. Hope that helps!

the cable comes out the back of the shifter it will circle around to the transmission, its possible you may need a longer cable

I believe this question refers to a Shimano shifter lever, not a brake lever. Anyway, I think they would fit on most bars and I did not worry about that when I ordered and installed my shifters. I belive most bars have similar diameters.

I have one on a C-6 and the 5 ft. length is needed to reverse the motion of the shift lever. The shifter lever moves from rear to front(Park to first) & the lever on the trans moves from front to back. That's the reason for the 5ft. cable. I did not see a shorter cable listed when I did my research.

I used these for a flat bar conversion on my Trek 1000 road bike and it works great. I have 3x8 with my setup but if you adjust the front shifter you shouldn't have a problem.

If you can move the grips and shifters off of the bar, these would slide down anywhere on the bar. Not sure if the angles would be right. I havs seen something similar mounted on the middle of the bar. Not sure it would have the same effect.

I have put my own grips on the SRAM twist shifters - just cut them to size and fit them snuggly on. Of course, I use bar end bars, which keeps the grips firmly pushed up against the shifters.

The bar ends are open (plastic caps come installed but can removed) and the tube diameter is standard. I can slide in a bar-end brake lever (that's all I have around to test with), so I would assume that bar-end shifters would install just fine. The question at that point would be cable routing. The could come out the back end of the bars, but there is not an exit hole that would route them out the side or bottom of the bars in front of the head tube so that the shift cables could be routed along (or within) the downtube.
