Title: Reverse Shifter (Pics Added) Post by: NAKID on July 16, 2009, 01:52:42 PM Just bought a set of Sato Rearsets off of another member. Wanted a reverse shifter to go with it but Sato doesn't sell one.
Just bought this off of ebay a few days ago: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270408135877&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270408135877&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT) (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh134/mcmotoparts/Lever/Shifter_lever_2_800px_bold.jpg) (http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j135/JoshFan1980a/New%20Ducati/DSC07519.jpg) (http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j135/JoshFan1980a/New%20Ducati/DSC07518.jpg) Came today (shipped from Hong Kong on the 11th). Beautiful shifter. Looks much better (IMO) than the one I used to have from Sling Shot Racing, cheaper too. I highly recommend the ebay seller. Title: Re: Reverse Shifter Post by: kopfjäger on July 16, 2009, 02:00:55 PM I was looking at those the other day. I am still hunting for the CC one that was for the 749/999 that had the bend in it.

Title: Re: Reverse Shifter (Pics Added) Post by: Bones on July 16, 2009, 03:31:20 PM not to threadjack, but I need to ask a stupid question:
by installing this, do you reverse the shift pattern (1 down, 4-5 up becomes 1 up 4-5 down)? or does it just eliminate the connecting linkage and you still have the same shift pattern? I can't imagine it in my mind right now.

Correct. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Reverse Shifter (Pics Added) Post by: NAKID on July 16, 2009, 03:38:14 PM Yup, now 1 up 5 down, no linkage slop...

Title: Re: Reverse Shifter (Pics Added) Post by: He Man on July 16, 2009, 04:02:29 PM that curve looks a lot more comfy with boots on. i have teh motowheels one i bought on ebay for $20 bucks used. cleaned it up and PCed it and the only thing i dont like about it is, its too long. All the ones designed for the SBKs seem to be extra long.
Title: Re: Reverse Shifter (Pics Added) Post by: NAKID on July 16, 2009, 04:06:12 PM The curve is nice, plus the toe piece is on an eccentric bolt...
Title: Re: Reverse Shifter (Pics Added) Post by: He Man on July 16, 2009, 04:32:36 PM post up a review of it when you get it installed. they look mighty sweet!

Title: Re: Reverse Shifter (Pics Added) Post by: He Man on July 16, 2009, 05:09:17 PM <cough> no one told you to bend over and turn your head NAKID, i thought you had an S2R1000??, thats looks like an 800 kickstand. And i didnt know you had SATOs, i was hoping for a pic with stock rearsets. whops seems you wrote i received it today. doh! Title: Re: Reverse Shifter (Pics Added) Post by: NAKID on July 16, 2009, 05:20:34 PM S2R1000 and S2R800 kickstands are identical. This kickstand is a stock, but polished one. Also, my sig line says 2006 S2R1000, just like yours. ;D
Title: Re: Reverse Shifter (Pics Added) Post by: He Man on July 16, 2009, 05:29:45 PM Also, my sig line says 2006 S2R1000, just like yours. ;D no it doesnt. :-X ;) For some reason i dont remember mine looking like that. but i have stock rearsets. how long is it? Title: Re: Reverse Shifter (Pics Added) Post by: NAKID on July 16, 2009, 05:33:14 PM 130mm...
The Sato's take one of the mounting points off of the rearsets. It includes a spacer for the bolt to ensure the kickstand still has 2 mounting points... Title: Re: Reverse Shifter (Pics Added) Post by: JimE on July 16, 2009, 10:18:51 PM Any harder to shift without the lever arm? Better or worse as far as force goes? More positive feel is a given....
Title: Re: Reverse Shifter (Pics Added) Post by: NAKID on July 17, 2009, 03:32:24 AM I would say it requires maybe a little extra force, but the feel is much better than the linkage...
