Default reverse rear sets?

I have a 02 F4i, and was wondering if anybody made reverse rear sets for our bikes. My buddy has an R6 and i introduced him to it, and he bought it for his bike, and after riding it i really want one. For anybody that doesnt know what a reverse rear set is, it reverses the shift pattern on our motorcycles. Instead of 1 down and 5 up, its 1 up and 5 down. i think it actually makes for more accurate shifts because you can use more power from your leg to shift it into gear. Well if anybody has any information on this please let me know thanks

Most aftermarket rearsets will give you the option to do a gp shift pattern.

or you can just take it off and flip it upside down cut 1/3 inch off where your shifter goes and poof it's free that way too.

Just reverse the lever, like Lockless said. You should be able to use the same linkage bar.

ORIGINAL: 1FastF4i

This works...
happens alot to ppl when they take it off to do sprockets, then put it bak on backwards lol... ive done it. its a simple, yet cool mistake...

its hard to get used to... downshifted instead of upshifted a few times on the first run lol..
