Reverse "GP" Shifting

[moto]

This here's what I made from a 999 lever (Motowheels) and an extended peg- so you aren't pigeon-toed when trying to shift w/ stock rear sets.

JP did a great job modifying the MW Billet Angled Reverse Shift Lever to make it shorter to fit his set up.

Here is what that  "angled reverse shifter" looked like before:



We have a few others avaialble:

I appreciate the pics and advice everyone has offered.  I went out last night and flipped the stock linkage just to see how I would like it.  I rode for about an hour, but it didn't take but about 10 minutes to love it.  (Now to just get used to it).  It is definately worth at least upgrading to a shift lever without the linkage, if not the entire rearset.

I just flipped my stock linkage, and it's been working great.

And, it is real easy to do, so if anyone is curious about GP shifting, flip it and try it.

Thanks Mr. Moto.
Yes- you gotta chop the length, and make the peg longer (for a S2R 1000 w/ stock foot pegs) There's odviously no slop, drops weight too. Easy to do w/ a hacksaw and a file- and a drill w/ 6mm tap and screw- oh yes- beer is essential. (Used a lathe for the peg, but a solid rod would work.) Just gotta find a rubber peg cover, maybe heat shrink or somthing.
Atleast you're not in a hurry to withdraw your weapon if someone tries to ride off w/ it.

Not sure what pegieon toeing is, apprently its a problem with the bigger guys, but it looks like you chopped of a good inch. Would that be equal to its stock location now?

[J.P.]

Yes, back to stock. The Foot pegs stick out further than most, so you need the extra length on the lever peg to get more than your big toe under for downshifting. I even have a size 8 foot.
One positive- w/ the shorter movement, shifts are lightening fast.

Sounds great, will pick this up along with some other stuff.

Was corresponding/sending pics and measurments w/ the guys at Motowheels about making a ready-made lever for monsters- may want to ask if they came up w/ anything.
I did countersink the back to hold the screw in position.

So I'm out riding today and thinking about reverse shifting.  Got home and checked the bike out and it looks very easy to switch the shifter over.  How does the stock shifter work in reverse?  Will probaly do this next day off.

I am using this option, still to soon to give you my thoughts on the product but I have been GP shifting longer than I can remember, I love it, will never go back or buy a bike where I cant switch it.



its for a 1098 but the spline is the same across the board (I am running and S2R1k)

[NAKID]

Did you get it off ebay? Those thing are cheap. $70 bucks right? No need to mod them to fit right?

monstersteve, is that the new bling from rizomas 08 catalog?
