So I used the search and this is the closest I found:

So how do you do reverse/gp shift on an F2?

Thanks

 

you can do it just like the second post says, just take the 8mm bolt out and pull the shifter off. Then rotate that arm around and it will be backwards. not 100% sure about clearance.

 

from looking at mine I dont think the arm and/or linkage will clear. did you do this to yours successfully?

 

when i was putting my bike together i remember switching it around quick just to see if it would work.. and i remember riding it down the street like that and switching it right back because it was awkward

 

this was a couple years ago though so i don't remember if it worked perfectly or not

 

sorry in advance if this sounds kinda newbish but what would the advantages of reversing the shift pattern be? just curious if its worth doing to mine or not. Pros Vs. Cons????

 

Some people just like how it feels better but the most concrete advantage is that when youre in a turn and want to upshift its easier to have your foot ontop of the peg instead of underneath it to keep your foot from scraping. Also as your accelerating some people find it more natural to push "down" because thats the direction the accelerating is encouraging your foot to go. Finally, its just "cool" because iirc most of the gp riders have it set up this way and come on, who doesnt want to be like one of those guys?

I personally still haven't actually tried it so I'm not speaking from personal experience.
