There have been discussions about the dangers of running reverse shifting on a SV650. It's fairly easy to get reverse shifting, all you need to do is turn the arm upside down. The problem with this is that in certain crashes, the shift lever is exposed to forces that cause the shift arm to break. This can get quite expensive.

In lieu of this, I came up with a new shift lever. It puts the shift Rod above the lever instead of below, thus achieving reverse shifting and still keeping the shift arm pointed upward in the stock position.  We have a set up for first generation SV 99 of 02 and for the second generation from 03 to 2010.
