i was thinking if i used the gp pattern instead of rearsets when moving the pedals rearward i would have to find a way to run the back brake with the lever reversed...

I believe you just flip the lever on the drum upside down... (rotate 180 on the spline).

that was my thought from looking at it, but i wasn't sure. i'm trying to do the 'cafe on the cheap' with this bike.

Aren't we all. ;D

... Actually judging by the "how much money have you put into cafe'ing your bike" thread... AND some of the high'er' dollar cafe's coming out lately I guess there's a gap forming, kinda like choppers...

Oh well!

Yeah try turning the lever upside down, might have to get creative with the routing of the rod.
