Anyone switched over their shift linkage for GP shifting? Just curious to find out how that worked out for you.

I ride on the street too much and prefer standard. I've tried and it's not for me.

I still reg shift. I’ve road raced for years and regular suited my style better. I’m smaller and never needed the clearance at full lean shifting. Kevin Schweins never switched good enough for him good enough for me

I switched to MotoGP shift on my se7en and my 10r. 1up5down.

I flipped mine and never looked back. Everything about it makes more sense. If you try it you'll either agree or you won't, there's no right answer.

GP Style Shifting

Anyone trying GP shifting? I hear all you have to do is invert the shift arm on the shift rod and re-adjust as needed the shift rod to fit your foot and get in your mind 1 up and 5 down. For me I would be back to the 60's where I started when shit was 1 up and 3 down. Yep that was the way it...

My '71 Norton is and has always been a stomp box. 1 up 3 down.

Thank you JBear. That was a very good resource as well.

I know GP shifting sounds like a real great think to do. It's so engrained into my brain 1 down 5 up that I'm not sure I can switch it in my brain and get it to stick without thinking about the shift pattern every time I need to shift. I'll give it a try this summer and see how it will fit me. 😎👍
