better?

anyone got a picture of a standard gear stick? I cant work out if mine already has a short shift on or not Or what can I check around the gear stick area to see if its a short shift?

Am I right in thinking that the Rev3+ are already fitted with short gear sticks or does the short shift kit change something else as well??

[RANDOMr2]

I'm confused also now rob brooks, To me, yours doesn't look that short, in fact the one that came on my 2 (rev2) was about the same height!

Rob shipp - Looks a bit shorter....

here's mine.

Came with a drop plate and a shorter stick and longer bolts to go through the drop plate.

It's so short now that I've had to take the gaiter off


Now looks hardcore



Looks stupid short, and is a stupid short throw, but still clears the surrounds.

I did get the right kit and to me it feels ok. I know a short shifter doesn't mean "short" in length - at least it shouldn't. It means the pivot point is modified to give a reduced travel. But the actual shifter is shorter than the one that came off my 2.

Mine's the same height as yours too, i fitted a shortshift gaiter made by rhon and work great together.

[RANDOMr2]

Cool!

[Steve-O 2007]

that looks way too short What does it feel like? can you shift with your whole hand or do you have to just use your fingers on the top of it??

Is it possible to just get the short shift bit without the shorter gear stick?


--edit--

then again wihout the gaiter around it it looks easir to change gear..

[rev3kid]

yes matey :thumleft:my trd one is not as short as that one but like said above its the throw thats shorter not so much the stem

[Steve-O 2007]

does this look standard (Rev3 NA import converted to turbo)? -





Thanks

[nitric4k]

thats the same as mine its just my knobs bigger (longer)

[Steve-O 2007]

just my knobs bigger (longer)

LOL That just doesnt sound right

hhmm might have to invest in one of them then as mine looks huge.. Random, is that one of the ebay short shift kits (£20 - £30 ones)?

thanks

Looks longer than my standard rev2 turbo so maybe thats a shortshifter already (I'll get a pic of the one I took out in a bit)

thats the same as mine its just my knobs bigger (longer)

You wish

is that one of the ebay short shift kits (£20 - £30 ones)?

Yeh it is But it feels much more precise without the crap wobbling round I had before. I have the uprated bearing kit that was on a GB yonks ago also but I looked at the instructions when I was fitting the shortshifter and thought F%&K that

[Steve-O 2007]

thanks, might have to order one

[RANDOMr2]

That's the kit.

[RANDOMr2]

oh, not including the lil c clip and washer, that's from the standard bits that you need to use still.

[fearless]

are thay any good the ebay kits looking at getting one for mine and are thay a pain in the rectum to fit
