I reverse the shift pattern on every motorcycle I buy. When I was 20 I found that when street racing my H2 it was easy to miss a gear in the heat of the moment. I thought that stepping down to shift made more sense so I made a new shift lever and tried it. I immediately liked it, and have stuck to it ever since. Most are pretty easy, but my 1989 Moto Guzzi Mille GT was a pain. I had to make a bunch of parts, but it was worth it. I put the stock parts back on when I sold it, so if anyone wants to reverse the pattern on a Tonti frame Guzzi, I'm the guy to talk to.
