Gear linkage rod

[djt77]

Hi all,

I want to change over the shift pattern on the bike as I found it more comfortable running reverse shift on the R1 and race bike, however the linkage rod on current bike is too long and doesn't allow me to just swap round. Anyone know where I might be able to get a shorter one made up? Without the proper tools it's not something I can do myself. 076.JPG

I got the boys at work to cut mine down on the lathe.

PM Paulmac (I think), I got some sealed linear bearings (the linkages on the end) from him a while back (trying to keep the Barbagello sand out), nice bloke, really helpful, & might have summat on the shelf. Can't remember the business name but it's Welshpool way.

I would work out how long you want it and then take the original to a machine shop and get them to make a new one that looks like the original...

You don't want to spoil the look of the bike and it won't cost that much...

the bearing joint on kewdale road just down from motorcycle masters do the ends. they might do the rods as well?

They look similar to Sato rods, I got 3 different lenght Sato rods via SBK Toy Store just recently.
