A B&H shifter is an aftermarket unit to change a tank shift to foot shift. It uses a mousetrap similar to H-D's and was marketed after WWII.

Billy,
What do you need to know, I have used them in the past.

Fourthgear,
This photo is from the March 2009 issue of American Iron Magazine. It shows the B&H shifter setup mounted on a bike.
