Title: Short reverse shifter? how short? Post by: BlackKat on May 03, 2010, 03:49:13 PM assuming the previous owner went pretty low into turns multiple times, my rear brake and shifter are both a little crewed up. Was doing a bit of shopping for some replacement parts and came across the nice billet reverse shifter (ssr?) and as it would expected, most of the companies offer a matching rear brake.
All the ones found say for those with "long" feet...The reverse shift thing will be fine, but I have far from big feet...lil size 8s to be honest...will this make the reverse shifters a horrible choice? Does anyone make a reverse shifter for normal to small feet? :) Cheers! Title: Re: Short reverse shifter? how short? Post by: He Man on May 03, 2010, 04:14:02 PM some brands are different. no expeire with SSR as i have the motowheels version. i think its too long and needs to be shortened. i have size 7 feet.

Title: Re: Short reverse shifter? how short? Post by: junior varsity on May 03, 2010, 05:11:24 PM The SSR short shifter is the same as the Motowheels Short Shifter - both GP / Reverse shift pattern. Sized for use with factory rearsets and aftermarket rearsets with the most-forward position selected. Makes shift much more comfortable. My shoe size is 11US / 45EU.

Title: Re: Short reverse shifter? how short? Post by: junior varsity on May 03, 2010, 05:30:53 PM The shorty ones?
Splines are all the same - length is all that matters. the shorty one works fine and is appropriate length for Monster rearsets - its design specifically for it. The standard length reverse shifters are too long for standard monster rearsets. Title: Re: Short reverse shifter? how short? Post by: BlackKat on May 03, 2010, 05:48:35 PM so the shorty is prolly alright for a monster rider with smurf feet and stock rear sets?

I've looked fruitlessly for many moons for one of those. I'm still working with a manufacturer to get one made that's similar. (Slingshot Racing, coincidentally...) |
