    Here's what the existing appendage looks like:
    You will need a long rod,
    I have one but it is reserved for sombody already.

    Do you have the original RG lever that pivots inboard of the footpeg?

    Well I didn't get to look for it - the RD350LC filled the gearbox with oil and water; draining the radiator at the same time. I will look tomorrow though.

    I don't have much experience with these types of things yet, but that sounds bad

    (trying my hardest not to make overly obvious innuendo wise-cracks ) Nope, no original lever no rod either...

    You could make your own simple one. By rotating the one you already have on there but make it go the other way and then bend it around to suit/extent it if need be.
    Will look rather interesting but it would work.

    I sold mine too Pete jones!

    Na, It will need another pivot point.
    If you can find a standard lever, assuming the footpeg is still right for it, you can reverse it easy.
    I fucked for time at the moment but if you know someone with lathe and welder access you might be able to get one made up.
    I can give you the diamensions.
    the longer rod is easy enough to make, I could probably do that if you give me the diamensions but it will be ages untill I can get to it.

    Learning reverse shift is probably easier.
    You will learn to love it, the key is to kinda make a positive mental switch into "bucket mode".

    Yeah, I'm coming to that realisation myself - it should be easier to make the transition now that the bucket's my only ride. Still, there will be definitely be some embarrasing "RIIIIIIIIIIIING-A-DINGDINGDING!!!" when I inevitably change 'down' when I mean 'up' during the transition period - watch out

    Keep an eye out for any loose linkages lying around tho' - I will aim to set it up at some point, just maybe not in time for 15th / 22nd... Cheers

    Lack of thinking on my part. Duh!

    By the end of a day at the buckets. You should roughly be there. Like Koba said its actually fantastic because you can go from road mode to race mode in your head easily with backwards gear shifting.

    ANYONE GOT A TAIL PIECE i can buy?
