Here are acouple of pics from my old 555 race bike. I used a GSXR peg and linkage to setup for GP shift. I probably have some close-ups of the right, if needed.

There is nothing to fab, aside from the shift setup.  CFM makes rear sets for the GS.

Thanks Rylon

The only thing I had to modify for the shift linkage was the left plate. 2 small notches had to be added to accept the GSXR peg. A few minutes with a dremel and it all fit together.

Speed? I think it mostly just changes your ride position  :thumb:

About 7 years ago I had to learn GP shifting when I was loaned a RS125 to ride. An ex-g/f used to race and had a couple of the 2-smokers. It does make up shifting faster and more positive with less mis-shifts and false neutrals since you only have to tap down. Also easier to tap down while in a full tuck. Oddly, it does not bother when I ride my dirt bike with standard shift but when I ride a street bike with standard shift I mess up.
