749 Spider Rearsets

I have just fitted a pair of these to my 749r. They apparently can be used in both road and race shift but I can’t see how they can be switched to race shift. I know it is as simple as fitting a reverse shift lever direct to the output shaft but no lever was supplied other than the one in the picture. Anyone got any idea? I’m happy with it in road shift but curious and can’t be arsed taking the gear shift off again to see it has a clever method of reversing.

 

I would need to get a new one as the clearance is so tight if turned 180 degrees. They are available but the rearsets are advertised as both road and race shift so I just wanted to make sure I’m not missing a thing.

 

Depends which uk supplier you look at. I got my supplier to check with Spider before ordering and they confirmed both race and road shift.

I think a reasonable solution can be found here as it looks likely you get more room than the standard fit item:-

I agree, it can’t. Without modification.

 

Test ride with the new rearsets this morning. Impressed with the difference it has made to the gear change. Much more positive. Happy with that.

 

Just cut some heel plates for them as the rhs fouled the exhaust heat shield and the fibre was twill matt. Obviously these only work on the peg position I have got set on the rhs which equates roughly to the standard upper position.

Thanks for all the replies. I know I can buy a reverse shift lever and the eBay pivot would probably work. I’m happy running road shift but I hope this thread helps others buying these rearsets. Nice but need fettling.

 

I had Bonamici on my v2 track bike. Excellent kit. The Spider ones are virtually half the price though. That’s the main reason.
