so this is reverse shifting right? up shift is click down and down shift is click up? GP style?

[junior varsity]

you bet.

Been riding GP shift pattern for a few years now. This shifter feels great in regards to placement.

ordered it in black through Monsterparts.com  Cant wait to get rid of my old ass one. its like 2cm from my rearsets and i always have to pigeion toe just to shift~

anyone looking to unload their stock shift lever?  The g/f dropped the 695 on it's left side & bent in the lever.  I was able to bend it back out but it still doesn't shift as crisp as it used to.

on Commonwealth Ducati's site it is $67.05 new; I'm not sure how much a used one is worth.

2007 m695 or equivalent

Thanks

Weighed the bits and pieces just for shits.

S#R
Stock Shifter Assembly: 6.9 oz. (.43 lbs)
SSR Shifter Assembly:   3.0 oz. (.19 lbs)

Weight Saved:             -3.9 oz. (-.24 lbs)

So, I finally got a chance to ride with this thing (S2R), and a couple of notes:

1) It has to be in the "right" position to get good leverage to shift properly (probably that same with all direct shifters I suppose), but the shifts feel solid, and quick when adjusted right.

2) Seems a bit long (1/2" maybe?), but you/I could probably get use to it,...and I ride with a size 41 boot.  (I'll fix this some day with new rear sets.)

3) Got to get use to the rolling toe piece.

That's all...

Definitely requires adjustment to get it right. Direct feel should be a much more positive shift engagement. You'll know as it happens when you miss a shift rather than being surprised about it.

The length is correct if you have rearsets. The piece is designed for superbikes.... and Monsters with rearsets. The length is for superbikes first, and happens to fit ours if you have put on aftermarket or DP rearsets which move your feet both UP and BACK.  If you are feeling a bit cramped, that's why. For comparison, my boot size is 45. Works for me because of the rizoma rearsets which I can position well over an inch behind stock rearset location.

Got mine installed right before my first track day and it rocked. 

I was surprised at just how much "slop" there was with the OEM linkage.  I'm very happy with it, but yes, aftermarket rear sets would compliment this nicely...

So would this give me more or less room for shifting with STOCK rearsets?

I'd say less.

Less.

just an update, these things dont crash very well since they are curved and stick out more. none the less it isnt broken, and it was nothing a hammer couldnt fix. Im not going to lie. it hurt a little since they were less than a  few weeks old.

but i tell you, they are the best reverse shifters in the world! The only thing im really upset about is how yellow the anodizing turned. Its straight up yellower than carbon fiber sitting in the sun for 3 years.
