Yes, shifter is backwards, cheap easy rear set. You just have to get used to the shifting pattern. Instead of one down and four up, its now one up and four down.
Its also called GP shifting. GP bikes use this pattern, heeled over in the corner you just push down on the lever to shift up. 1 down 4 up shifting, your foot might rub the ground accelerating and shifting out of a corner.
Here's a before and after I photoshopped the TX750 Yamaha. The before (stock) look has a definate chopper style look to it, long front end, high handlebars and squatty rear end. I think back in the mid 70's Yamaha tried to appeal to the American Easy Rider crowd by styling their bikes to look like choppers.
In the after look I tried to mimics today's sport bikes with lower bars , steeper steering angle and a higher rear end.

That is very, very nicely done.
What bore size master cylinder are you running with two of the twin piston calipers?

The master cylinder is from a 2002 ZX6R KAWASAKI, I'm not sure but I believe bore size is around 15-16mm. The front brake lever has a nice progressive action not overly sensitive or powerful.

very nice build but I always read those motors were time bombs, something about the oil starvation problems, only the 73 if I recall. Is yours a 74 or has it had the deep sump conversion? very cool looker!
