Default GP Shift

You guys like it? I chnaged my over and finally got a break in the weather to try it out. Cost 0 dollars, well, $5 for the bag of huge zip ties I bought a couple of years back. Still making mistakes on the downshifting part of it. I hesitate when I'm slowing for a turn or just stopping. Up shifting is a breeze. Feels so much more natural pressing down as I'm going faster. It'll take me a couple of rides to be "the norm". Guess years and years of something becomes a habit.

I love it. Its a lot easier since I shift faster accelerating than downshifting. Just dont jorget that if you ride someone elses that doesnt have it, lol.

That may be a problem... I like to trade bikes to say I've ridden all of them.

So far the biggest problem is remembering which way is up or down. I like the upshifts since it's more natural to me.

Help me out here. Your picture looks like it has stock rearsets, is there a way to change it? I've never looked that close, just assumed I couldn't change the stockers. And what's this with zip ties? Have I missed something important, lol?
