I think you will find that both of the South Island bikes that ran at TTRS were running road pattern, didn't seem to slow them down to much

I thought when this thread said "race shift" it meant the full throttle-no clutch-change gear- ignition kills for a split second, but just means race-pattern...

when i had my bucket it had road pattern and i had no problem going from race pattern on the rg to that.

oh dear, here it comes, I can't find old threads but it goes something like this. . .
"If it was good enough for Kevin Schwantz to use road shift, its good enough for me. When I get better than him I'll consider changing"
Might be relevant on big fat 4 cylinder based 250s with lower 17s fitted, but not on most buckets.
Don't you look at my accountant.

Dave, did you see this http://www.fxr150.co.nz/discussion/v....php?f=6&t=229 Looks like someone might know what they are doing. We looked at the RS chassis for the KE, a shit load of mods as the spars are really close together and getting the sprockets to line up looked like a real bitch. I will be very interested to see how it turns out. We have some substantial mods planned for mine. Have been sniffing around for motor/chassis bits and pieces with some success.

No I hadn't seen the post, but I had conversed with Bren & knew he was up to this as he bought Peter's KV. I do wonder about the RS chassis with discvalve engine. - Just the RS is another 2" shorter than most bikes. Still with a compact carb setup like you have it should be ok. Just I wouldn't want to hang an old skool 32 out there.
