Title: Ducabike rearsets; shift linkage Q
Post by: hyflight on June 03, 2013, 07:31:20 AM
2010 Monster 1100.  Installed Ducabike rearsets, mostly an easy job.  I have the ball joints adjusted out as far as I think allows enough threads to remain within the tie-rod.  The shift pedal, therefore, is too high for my comfort...quite a bit higher than with the OEM rearsets.  Is there an aftermarket, longer, tie-rod available?  If I rotate the gearchange lever on the splines, will that affect anything other than shift pedal position?

Thanks!

Just rotate the lever to a new position on the splines, and check to make sure it shifts both directions.

Adjust to suit.

what Nick said, just make sure to mark the current position with a sharpie, then rotate it one spline at a time until it's comfortable.

Or turn it 180 degrees on the splines and go with gp-shift pattern.  ;)  1 up, 5 down

There is a great video of a guy almost going over a bridge that had recently changed to GP style shifting.  After 30+ years of training my muscle memory I am gonna skip the flip.......
