+1 on the RHS conversion. That "Continental" linkage setup is a Rube Goldberg nightmare!
I first tried the DRS bushing setup, and it was an improvement. But, as my father used to say "You can't polish a terd".
Once I converted back to the way God and Queen intended the bike to be - it was like a religious awakening. Holy crap! this thing actually WORKS! It was a beautiful thing. That is, for the 2 weeks I rode it that way before I got dinged by a hit-and-run driver on my Bajaj and messed up my right ankle, losing the range of motion needed to downshift
