.020 Over

Do you have a two piece heal/tow shifter which allows you to raise the toe without lowering the heal portion? It seems to me that I saw one of those. But also note the difference between Atm's (like what I have) and Bluemarlin's, of which you obviously can't cut off the rear.
You know, now that you mentioned it: The shifter on my BSA was a two part shifter. I forgot all about it. We had to adjust them whenever we reconfigured for race trim foot pegs. For you young guys... we didn't have the funds to own two bikes, one for the road and one for the track. So we carried bits and pieces, went to the race site the day before, set up a camp site and started ripping the ride apart. After the race we did everything in reverse. Not very efficient but we had a lot of fun and it made for many great weekends..
As for tucking your legs back on the passenger pegs. . . there is something to be said for age! It sucks! I did just that and as I came up to this stop sign I couldn't get my right leg back due to a cramp. I almost fell over. Very embarassing indeed. Since then I keep my hind paws in the front like any good geezer. But I do know what you mean. This is my first bike where I have my feet in front rather than below my body. I have been riding my R3 for almost one year and still am not fully comfortable with it. My biggest problem is that when I come up to an unavoidable pot hole, I can't react fast enough to get my weight off my ass. The result is often a spine crushing kick in the pants. On the other hand, perhaps I shouldn't look at the babes and concentrate on the road.
