I guess not Seanster.  Beleive it or not, some fellow Ducati brother pulled up to me in a bmw and asked me whats wrong.  I told him and then he informs me that he rides ducs and that he thinks he has the shift rod i need.  Went back to his garage and boom there it was.  We grabbed some wrenches and came back to my bike..He even installed it for me.  Basically he saved the day for me.   I'm really happy about it b/c i was running out of energy just walking the bike.  In a very very small way I'm not happy b/c that reverse shift lever seems like a really neat & cheap alternative  :) [Dolph]

if you were going to buy one, get the SSR with the offset. you wont have to pigeon toe it (it sticks out a full 1 inch more)

the downside is that if your bike goes down the shifters done. ive destroyed 2 already.
