    Pretty sure the centre stand will hit first.

    As above mentioned remounting the whole shooting match backwards and outwards is pretty easy. the right side is dead easy given the brake master is on the peg and moves back as much as out so kinda counters out need fr longer hose.
    The gearshift though may be more of an issue than you realise. If its a lever straight out of the crankcase no worries. You can rotate it a bit on the spline to get it back inline with the boot.
    If its actually lever on bracket with two linkages to the pivot on the crankcase then you'll find things are a bit more complicated.
    Given the small amount back you are proposing the combination of unthreading a few turns and rotating the shifter on the crankcase splines a few degrees will likely get you the extra lenth. BUT you are also asking the whole plot to work at an outward angle.
    I'm pretty sure its gonna bind up on you. So I feel you'll need a Z plate rather than just a flat plate and accept you get back/down but not outward change.

    After fitting adjustable rearsets, What I thought was going to be the right thing for me, was completely different to what I ended up with... So probably put something to gether crudely first and test it out for comfort instead of going all out and then being unhappy with it..

    Can you get shorter brackets that go from the rear brake lever to the master cylinder? Mines about 24mm long.

    I just need to drop my lever a bit more and all will be good with the world.

    Go for it.

    I made some alloy ones up for my Hornet - back 35 mm up 5mm. Work a treat. You'll need to make a extender for the shift-rod otherwise ensure there is swing-arm clearance when you mount them rearwards - watch the brake side clearance.

    I made the sprocket cover in the picture too - get into it!
