“Thanks for the quick delivery of the Gen 2 Annitori RL Quickshifter by HM. I installed it on my Ducati 1198 within a couple hours of its arrival. Bottom line: the quick shifter functions flawlessly! Installation instructions are complete and easy to follow and required only the removal of the Ducati’s left side fairing . . . Back-shifting to lower gears using the clutch as usual is no different than without the quick shifter installed. However, shifting to higher gears with no clutch and the throttle open feels very smooth and seamless and requires only a positive press and release of the gear lever. So far, I am extremely pleased with this product and appreciate your offering it for sale.”

One of the best bang for your buck improvements to your motorcycle / sport bike has just been upgraded.
Here are some of the improvements:
The Controller | Processor is not improved with a flat, as opposed to round, construction. This change results from customers request to mount the controller | processor to the flat parts of the motorcycle.
There is now a button on the backside that replaces the “click key” setup method of the earlier version. Now, virtually every motorcycle on the market can easily enter the setup mode with ease.
The electronics of the previous versions have been upgraded the the GEN 2 Platform. The allows for increased electronic stability, faster processing and a new output section. The improved electronics catapults the GEN 2 Annitori RL Quickshifter by HM to “fastest, smoothest and most consistent shifter ever available.”
More about the Annitori RL Quickshifter by HM
The Annitori RL Quickshifter by HM is a sophisticated fully digital electronic device that eliminates the use of the clutch from the shifting process. This means smoother and seamless shifting that helps you to become a quicker and safer rider.
You gain more performance than virtually any other upgrade you could add to your machine . . . for the price of a rear tire! – Satisfied RL Quickshifter customer
Have you ever thought about the number of steps and the amount of time and attention that it costs to shift gears on a motorcycle? You have to roll off the throttle, pull in the clutch, kick the shift lever to the next gear; and release the clutch, while simultaneously reapplying the throttle.
All of these steps not only cost you in time and attention, they also upset the motorcycle chassis by causing the motorcycle to shift back in forth during the drop in throttle and gear change lurching. In a straight line you will lose speed. In the middle of a turn you lose traction and control of the motorcycle.
The RL Quickshifter increases your speed, reduces your times and minimizes the potential for danger by removing the out of control and lurching element from your street and track riding and freeing your attention to focus on what’s ahead of you.
“This is the closest you’ll get to a paddle shifter on a motorcycle!”
How Does The NEW “GEN 2” RL Quickshifter by Annitori Work?
The RL Quickshifter is a microprocessor controlled device that uses “Strain Gauge” sensor technology. This technology is now regarded as one of the most important components to any high performance motorcycle. Strain guage shifters are used by virtually all of the world’s top racing teams today in MotoGP and World Superbike. Until now this technology was extremely expensive and unavailable to anyone but factory race teams. We are just now beginning to see them included stock on the most exclusive and expensive motorcycle brands.
In the RL Quickshifter , the Annitori engineering team’s sophisticated software package has succeeded in making this same exclusive technology available to everyone without the cost.
What About the Stock Clutch?
Your stock clutch set up will remain unchanged and will still be very useable.
In fact, for shifts from 1st to 2nd on a typical 600cc bike at 18000 rpms you don’t really need to utilize the quickshifter . . . a normal clutched upshift is all that’s necessary.
However, under “spirited” riding on the street or typical ideal track conditions at the higher speeds, when precise control and speed counts, you will definitely feel the difference. You’ll be glad that you upgraded to the RL Quickshifter!

ON SALE NOW!
**Received the following email from another satisfied We Ride Motorsports’ customer:
Thanks for the quick delivery of the Gen 2 Annitori RL Quickshifter by HM. I installed it on my Ducati 1198 within a couple hours of its arrival. Bottom line: the quick shifter functions flawlessly!
Installation instructions are complete and easy to follow and required only the removal of the Ducati’s left side fairing. It helps to have the service manual that shows where to find the connectors to the ignition coils. I prefer GP-style shift pattern and use the sock linkage and rear sets (see attached photo.)
After reading of some experiences other riders have had with the quick shifter, I anticipated the possibility of the engine stalling when shifting into neutral. This has not happened with my bike. Back-shifting to lower gears using the clutch as usual is no different than without the quick shifter installed. However, shifting to higher gears with no clutch and the throttle open feels very smooth and seamless and requires only a positive press and release of the gear lever.
So far, I am extremely pleased with this product and appreciate your offering it for sale.
–Emailed from K. Jenson on 6/5 – Thanks for the email and keep riding! Let us know if you need anything else for the 1198!
