"Inverted" Shift Pattern

I think a reversed shifter might put extra loads on the bushings. I've had one for about 7,000mi and it's gone loose. The total of 64,000mi have been on the original bushings. It's hard to say that wear was sped up by the lever or not. The rubber thing is further outboard by 2 inches.

It has the original cam plate so it has a reversed shift pattern. I don't have any problem going back and forth to my VFR but I had a harder time remembering shift pattern when I borrowed a right side, one up, three down original bike, go figure.

With a one up 3 down shift, you push to go forward, and pull back to slow down. It gets hard wired into your brain.

Hobot, you sound like a bootlegger. Brake/taillight cut out switches were used in cars raced in the Cannonball Run to throw off pursuit vehicles, too.

'Hobot, you sound like a bootlegger. '

Have you just noticed that ? I'll bet he doesn't make much profit out of it.

Ugh, to some degree yes but when carrying I ride as invisible as possible. If ya slip off the main path you don't want lights showing the way like robbers runing off with lights in their shoes, duh. If still on main path ya don't want em following past the first real turn either. I have a series of speed ranges with terms for the intensity-strain-risk of it, chased speed is higher than race speed as any good b-legger can attest. Bootleggers tend to test limits in bad places to know exactly what can be gotten barely away so someone not as familiar better quit the chase there before it quits them. During my P!! daze I got to do stuff like Ghost Rider so didn't mater how many sent out to trap, they were all like sluggish parking lot cone, though did not run over 130 much as too much damaging level vibes. I"m working up to Sup. Ct case this season so if seen doing my thing on Ms Peel we may be ticketed for speeding but not impounded or taken to jail. Much less work I figure in long run than changing Peels colors with tape layers like some have too.

There are some real manics drivers and riders out there on both sides of the law. Avoiding scraping toes off boots or dodging animals and jail w/o a dr. lic. adds spice to all my outings. All though school was threaten with "this will be on permanent record", then found out about the dr. lic. points and insurance hits so decided best cost to benefits, to just drop out so no more records could attach. My insurance rates would be sky high by now if they'd even cover me.

Somewhere out there I saw somebody selling a switch-operated gizmo to flip your license plate up to hide it or down to make it visible again; handy if they have traffic cameras in your neck of the woods. Outlaw method: steal license plates; nobody reports them stolen. Let somebody else get the ticket.

hehe, already got most of what Peel needs to have wind lift her tag edge on to viewing - at speeds it'd matter but it's so rural here robo cameras are not an issue for the foreseeable future. In cities of course they have cameras with watchers at most big intersections. I'm spoiled w/o a single traffic light in two counties I ride most in. Also the State knows how much their traffic signs get shot through and couldn't keep "Home of Clinton" billboard intact either, so will be a while before they've can afford enough to armor em better. Interesting I never see useful warning signs or mailboxes shot up just speed limits and arrows or number markers. Some almost trick shots to pass between buildings w/o striking them.
