Dion Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Does anyone know offhand if some company makes rearsets for the bird that will accomodate a GP shift pattern? I did some quick searches but didn't find any thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I had some rearsets that would let you do the GP shift pattern. I never could get used to it so I went back to regular. I got them off of Joe and sold them to JasonW. I'll try and remember the name. RAASK was the name of them. They were built real good. They used linkage to move the shifter shaft. You could put the arm on the top or bottom of the shaft to go from regular shift to GP shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shovelstrokeed Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Yeah, Gilles Machine. I have a set on my '01. Adjustable in about 15 different positions and switching from race pattern to street pattern is about a 10 minute job. I pretty much stay with the stock pattern all the time. When you have a half dozen bikes in the garage you want them all to shift the same. Very few adventures will get your attention like winding the piss out of third gear and executing a firm shift into second cause you forgot what you were riding. Yeah, I know it shouldn't go in but it can and did to me one time. Expensive error what with the broken motor and trying to get the shit stains out of my leathers from the rear wheel slide generated.

BDAZ XX Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I wish it were as easy as switching the RC over. I prefur GP shifting vs conventional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some quick searches but didn't find any thing. I have a partial set of Raask rearsets in the garage. I'll let them go for cheap but you will have to do some playing.

Dion Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 Thanks guys. Talk to me Jeff I tried it for about 4 laps and like the concept but need to re-educate myself and can't do it switching back and forth. I wish it were as easy as switching the RC over. I prefur GP shifting vs conventional. A buddy did it with an XX shifter and some other bits. I'll get the info from him for ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you have to do with the RC is install a VFR or XX shifter and its done. I like clicking down to upshift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
