I'm a Continental GT owner looking to create a GP style shift pattern on my bike (one up, four down). I realized that the standard UCE bikes have a shift lever directly attached to the shaft instead of having the linkage that comes from the factory on the GT. My thought process is to order a shifter and attach it 180* from normal for your bikes so that it is within reach of my toes with the rear sets. So I have a couple questions:

What is the length of the shifter from the center of of the output shaft to the end of the shifter? Center to center measurements are fine too. Just trying to see if it will be where my toes need it to be.

Do you think the the shifter would clear the case that protrudes a little farther aft of the shaft?

I really appreciate your help here. I could just order one and see, but I'd rather have some insight from those who have one before I do.

One last question. What's the diameter in MM's of the gear selector shaft? I would assume that all UCE's are the same on this, but I just want to make sure.

I'd be all over this ..... but .....  I'm out of town without my Bullet.

Maybe somebody else will flop his lever over and take some pics of the clearances ......

I took the lever of mine (a B5) and I've marked up the measurements.

It clears the case easily - I'll post a pic later, when I refit it.

There we go: plenty of room.

WOW!!! You're awesome! Thank you for your help!

Now I just need to take a measure and see if that is where my toes will catch it properly.

Thank you again!

Yep! Looks like it'll be great! Maybe only a slightly larger gap between my peg and the lever, but only by a few MM's.

Left-hand shift ?

[p144]

Yes sir! I don't think I could handle a right side. I just need to be able to upshift by tapping down so I don't have to catch my toes on the track when upshifting in a left turn.

Thank you for your help!

It's a great pleasure.  It's good that we help each other - I've received plenty of help myself and am grateful for it.

Does anyone know where I can order that shifter from? I looked on both Nfield and Hitchcock's, but didn't see it offered for sale. Saw a picture of one on a website called Royal Motorcycles, but couldn't seem to click on it to buy it.

Any suggestions?

Nfield Gear has a lot of things not listed online.
You have to call. I bet they have one.

Got the B5 shifter in today and fitted it up. The toe rubber is slightly farther from the foot peg than the stock setup was, but it's fine for me. Maybe someone with really short feet would find it too far, but I reach it without any trouble.

Thanks again for your help on those measurements!
