New shifters for Bike FS

Here's the new Sachs shifters going on Dennis’s Porsche Bike FS. Yes, Sachs is the same company that makes Porsche car clutches, but they also made Porsche bike parts in the 1990s. I can't adjust the shifting cables yet because I have to do the brakes first. The brake levers are on the inside of the shifting grips on the handle bars.
