Newest GP-Shifter Design: 749/999 and Monsters

[junior varsity]

Here's the latest shots of the Slingshot Racing guys' GP shifters. I needed a shifter like the no-longer available DSL-2 from CycleCat which has a lateral move for easier access. It also clears the bodywork on those superbikes, making add'l cutting not required.

Here's some shots:
















Enjoy.  They should be available on the SSR website (slingshotracing.net) relatively soon. These guys were great to work with, and deserve [almost] all the credit.

Nice.  I was going to buy the current straight one soon.  Looks like I'll be waiting for this one instead.

I recently bought some of their tools.  So nice, I wish I could put them on the bike as bling.

man the list of shit i'm buying for my bike is just exponentially increasing... LOVE it.
I'll be getting this sucker ASAP.

Did you ever try the gp shifter rizoma makes?  From my understanding it should fit.
Rizoma part number PE206B
I never found an answer that was a definite yes or no.  PJ's parts said they had one guy say yes and another guy say no lol.

[Povidius]

Holy shit!  Thats a cool idea!

Any idea if it will work with stock rearsets?

And will they sell a replacement toe piece?

Yes to replacement toe-pieces - the toe end is identical to their other shifter's piece.

Going to be slightly long for stock rearsets unless you got really little feet.

Yes, it fits, but no it doesn't "work". It, although angled, does not have a lateral movement which would position it wider for Monster rearsets, like the Rizoma rearsets. Here's the problem this piece solved - the pigeon-toed picture:



See how you'd have to rotate your foot way in to shift gears? Do-able, but not comfortable. For guys with stock rearsets, their "shorty" shifter is the correct length for use (but note, their gold is very orangey gold on that shifter, or it was, which was nice, but did not match other golds).

I guess I'll buy up old stockers.

Don't know how many more times I can straighten mine.

Haha. Here's a shot of the problem "solved":

i really like the SSR stuff I've acquired.  I wish they made DSS rear sets.

[He Man]

Im still waiting for jeff at monsterparts to get a hold of these. when do you think they be available?

Want to save a bit on shipping since im also buying SSR's alternator cover + DS1000 bolt kit.

[junior varsity]

Not really sure when they'll be ready to move lots of them. I will keep you guys posted.
