This doesnt look right

Just browsing ebay and noticed this...
It doesnt look right or am i wrong. ??

 

The linkage should be on the other end of the lug with 4 holes so the shifter rod will be in a vertical position.

 

Thats what i thought, it
Looks like his used the holes for the lever adjustment haha

 

Exactly. And the shift would be rather firm because the fulcrum or leverage point are way out of whack.

 

1 up 5 down

 

Can't be Kev. The flange on the selector shaft would have to be facing forward for the reversed selection.

 

The position of the rod, before (red) or after (green) the pivot screw, is all it takes to go from 1 down 5 up, to 1 up 5 down... right?


By changing the position of the rod you wouldn't need to mess with the flange... Or am I missing something?

Edit: although with this setup it should be 1 down, 5 up.... correct?

 

Yes it has been swapped to "race shift", you can do the same to my R1

 

Yeah but you could swap easy if you wanted with that setup

 

You can only change the direction of travel on the gear change shaft by switching the flange to face the front.


It's best illustrated in this video:

 

Stock Honda layout is gear shift linkage behind foot lever fulcrum. So gear box shaft shift arm faces backwards to keep 1 down 5 up normal shift pattern.

So if you retain that lever pickup layout then you need to swap the gear box shaft shift arm to point to the front to achieve reverse shift pattern

Or just move the shift shaft pickup ahead of the foot lever fulcrum with an aftermarket foot lever.



This setup is reverse shift pattern retaining the gear selector shaft lever in stock orientation.

 

On a standard lever yes your right, but aftermarket can be left in stock. Think about the rod, when you press lever down rod moves down in its standard position. Rod mounted to the left of gear lever mount, when you press lever down - rod moves up Easy
