'Reverse' Gear-Change

[Doc]

Been wanting to do this since getting my Blade, as the majority of the Bikes I've owned, and all those I've raced, have had the 'correct' 1-UP ~ 5-Down pattern.
Was looking into remaking the whole Linkage arrangement, as I thought the simple option of putting a Lever directly onto the Gear-Change Shaft wasn't an option, I was wrong.
Took a chance on a used VFR750 (RC24) Lever, it fits like it was made for the job!



Would probably be too long without the Rear-Sets, but it's perfect with them.
Just touches the Plastic Sprocket Cover on the up-swing, but not enough to worry about.
I'll probably modify the Cover to clear it at some point.

Put a few miles on it today, feels great to have the Gear-Change sorted at last!
