As in GP shifting? (So press down to shift up)
Sometimes it helps while cornering, so instead of getting your foot under the lever to shift up, you just need to twitch down a lil bit. Some people say it makes upshifts quicker because the movement is more natural, but I suppose that is only beneficial for drag racing or something. That being said I do have GP shifting on my race bike....just seems more comfortable.

sorry bud, Im just confused. With the rear set linkage set up like that if you click the lever down w your toe...the transmissions shaft is being pushed up. So, does the transmission shift work backwards, and by setting up rear set linkage like it is...you made it shift standard?
It is one amazing bike. you did a beautiful job!

Thanks, glad you like it! If i push it down with my toe the rod is being pushed forward and the lever on the transmissionsshaft turns it clockwise, the linkage is set up the same way on the standard bike. If I turn the lever on the transmissions shaft 180 degrees (pointing upwards instead of downwards) it will be raceshift. If the the lever on the shiftpedal would be pointing down instead of up it would have the same effect. Trust me, I built it...

This bike is about the best inspiration I've found for my new r80 - do you have a build thread anywhere? If not, would you mind sharing info on the seat,tires, rear blinkers/brake light unit? I assume the rear mudguard is just one you bought and figured a way to mount?

Here's my 82 CB450. These stamped steel framed bikes are hard to make look cool. Forks and wheels are from a CB400F as well as the factory rear sets. Tank is a 71 CB750. Seat is the stock seat with 10" removed from the center. Tail section is the original gas tank. Exhaust is half a ZX6 header and some scrap HD pipe with a cocktail shaker muffler. I sold this bike last fall to start a new one. I kind of miss it though.
