Default GP shift

Just curious, I swapped my SV to GP shift by simply flipping the linkage around. Simple and easy.

On the 1125, there is no linkage to switch around, so how would one go about changing it to GP shift?

Just curious if it's something that would be relatively simple to do or not.

Actually, no... since I started the year on the 1125, I'm actually used to that, and i miss shifted the SV the first time on it...

But i did like the way the GP felt riding, so if it was possible, I'd do it... if not, well, I'll deal with standard.

The SV is back to standard now anyway for the gf.

And besides ebbs, how am I gonna fuck you up otherwise???

It looks so little compared to the 1125... at least from the front.

They are close length and height wise...

He's too much of a girl to handle the Vtwin.

Clear.
The rear turns are as well... All LED signals. But the tail/brake light is a standard bulb. Go figure
have to change that out here sometime.

The pre production ones had amber signals w/standard bulbs.

It was set up for GP shift, and it is slower than his, so he was unimpressed when we switched.

From my quick internet search, it looks like Buell will be offering a factory accessory for GP shift.
