given that the engine is swingarm mount, i'd go with morse cable off a simple lever handle. hardest part will likely be to make up some sort of detent for each position to prevent accidenmtal shifts.

Here is a walkaround of a TRX200(same engine) transplanted into a hard tail buggy frame. I know it is a linkage type, but its food for thought, and ohh so pretty.

the traax2 in the vid belongs to mbn member daaboots. there's a little info over there, he didn't do a build thread on that one but i'm sure would hook you up with the info. also metalstudman (he's been "off the grid" awhile) on here has pretty much done essentially what you're working on. http://www.buggymasters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1290 .... posts 68 and 69 have pics of two of his setups.

fouund his thread on it ... about halfway down is his engine mount crossbar and i'm pretty sure that's his shifter cable threaded into it vertically.
