Yeah its totally possible...just unbolt your shift linkage from the engine and flip it over...works just fine...I know people who race that run them like that....

search for "GP shift", thats what it is commonly called. not sure on you bike, but on alot of suzukis you just flip the linkage over. on my friends RC-51 you can use a VFR shifter to make it happen. the cbr linkage is alot different then those two tho, so im not sure.
edit: found a link for you, looks like you might have to remove/modify the front sprocket cover to get it to work, but flipping over the linkage does the trick.

ya, im not too sure about that, i wouldnt want it rubbing against the coolant hose like that, but mebbe with a little heat shrink you could put a layer there to protect it. coolant is pretty slick, wouldnt want a hose to burst and spew hotness all over your leg and rear tire.

Faster and cleaner upshifts. Less worry of foot positioning in turns if you run out of gear and need to upshift. And so most of your friends can't just hop on and ride off.

Yeah, I know the reasoning behind it. I just don't see the point, unless you're genuinely having trouble with a street pattern.
I don't find I have trouble with slow upshifts on a street pattern shifter. Just make it smooth and positive, and don't bother with the clutch. I would probably get frustrated if I changed it to a GP pattern. Y'know, forget I had done it and try to pull away in 6th, or try and put it in neutral between 5th and 6th....that kind of dumb ****.

Re: (immortal)
here's the piece i flipped around to get it gp shift... i didnt know it was so easy to switch on the suzukis, my honda wasnt like this at all. saves me $500 for the time being.
for the 1000rr i had to buy new rearsets.. looking back on it i might have been able to rig something, not sure.

That is true. But, I'm all for cheap mods. And this is something that's cheap (for most bikes) that can be done by anyone who can turn a wrench. The feeling of accomplishment is nice. And once you get used to it, it becomes second nature.
