I have an '05 and made the switch. A definite improvement.

Been considering the same for my '05. Which year R1 shifter did you use, and do you know the part number to facilitate ordering?

The Healing Arts Center? Better shifting through Yoga or?????????

I used the arm on the right. Such a thing as too short.

Thank you, gentlemen. I recalled that pic, but didn't realize it had the years on it. That's enough for me to specify in an upcoming call to University Motors.

Rad, your comment was exactly what I was wondering about -- and I'd expect to agree that there is such a thing as too short. So, I'll get the longer '02 version.

exskibum,

Seeing the picture made me go look. I didn't realize there were two versions. I'm also using the one on the right and it made an HUGE difference. I was always missing the 1-2 shift. (I have the same problem on my dirt bike.) I just don't seem to move my foot up enough for the jump over neutral. Anyway, I don't miss them any more and I can shift smoother because I spend less time with the clutch in. JMHO!
