Suntour Command Shifters OBSOLETE

I hated how the Suntour Command Shifters are impossible to get & no good mass-produced version is offered. I never used them, but they look very intuitive & like a good design. These are Inventor files, not Solidworks as I'm used to. I might redesign them in Solidworks. I used Inventor first because I liked their sketched spline feature a lot more at the time for tracing over the reference images (provided).

This project has kind of gotten forgotten lately. If people have more interest, I might revive it, but for the moment it's available for anyone who wants to try & pick up where I left off. It's just not a priority at the moment.

I have never printed these out for testing/fitting purposes. If you do, please let me know so I can modify/update them as necessary.

Motivation & Inspiration

The Kelly Take-offs don't look that great in my opinion, & the WTB whifter pod (https://www.google.com/search?q=wtb+shifter+pod&rlz=1C1CHBD_enUS706US706&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj77Irio-_QAhUEilQKHdyeC0MQsAQIGw&biw=1270&bih=1330 also discontinued, I might try & design these too) might be okay. I prefer having the extended levers on both sides.

Assembly & Materials

They currently attach to the handlebars using a hose clamp, which might not even exist. I'm not sure. A 4 mm bolt will affix the shifter to the pod unit, though I forget if I added a nut on the other side. I don't want the bolt to gouge the handlebar.
