Short reverse shifter? how short?

[BlackKat]

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!

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.

[BlackKat]

can you give me a guesstimate on the length?

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.

arent they sized for SBKs not monsters?

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.

[BlackKat]

so the shorty is prolly alright for a monster rider with smurf feet and stock rear sets?

The best one ever made for a Monster, was made for the 749/999. It had the bend in it to clear the bodywork. Only took me a year to find this one.

Ah, the legendary DSL2 from CycleCat.

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...)
