GP shift

[asphaltscraper]

I have GP shift on my 675 track bike. Wanted to convert the Hyper over as well to keep continuity and avoid little shifting mishaps from switching between the 2 styles. I saw that Woodcraft sell a set that'll do standard and GP but they run 600 bucks and seeing as I've dumped a bunch of cash into the 675 I'm not exactly that flush right now.
Anyone know of another brand of rearset's that will offer GP shift? Or is there a way to convert the stock set up? I thought I might be able to flip the linkage like I used to do on my old SV650 but according to Eric Wood (Woodcraft) that is a non starter.
Thanks, any input is appreciated.

Hi asphaltscraper,

I don't believe you can convert the stock linkage to GP shift pattern. You can probably get your questions answered about the Hyper over at Ducati.ms Hypermotard forum. Very busy and many knowledgeable peeps there

BTW.... Congrats on the Hyper. And thanks for the props on my hyper.

Thanks, will give that board a shot.

hyperduc, you're absolutely right. Unless I cut and reweld the shift arm like a guy over on ducati.ms did there is no way to do it using the stock stuff entirely. The shift rod pivot point on the shift arm is high up and causes clearance issues if your try and turn the rod downwards. I am thinking there must be a shift arm off of another bike that could be canabalised to do the job.
I have some rod end bearings and a few different length rods on order via a supplier I use at work. Now I just need the appropriate donor Jap bike.
