The Gilles Reverse Shifting Kit is designed for Honda CBR 1000 RR riders (2004-2016) who want to transition to a GP-style shift pattern for faster, more intuitive gear changes on the track. This kit provides a seamless mechanical conversion to reverse shifting, offering significant ergonomic advantages for aggressive cornering and track-day enthusiasts; however, it requires a period of recalibration for riders accustomed to a traditional street-shift pattern.

This kit is intended for use with compatible rearsets; verify specific compatibility with your current setup before installation.
Reverse shifting allows for upshifts by pushing down on the lever, which is more ergonomic and faster when the bike is leaned over in a corner.
While there are no laws against reverse shifting, it is a significant change to motorcycle operation and requires rider adaptation to avoid shifting errors in traffic.
The kit includes the essential components to modify the shift linkage, though basic shop tools are required for installation.
For an experienced mechanic, installation typically takes 30-60 minutes, including fine-tuning the shift lever angle.
Check the linkage rod length adjustment; ensure the shift lever travel is unobstructed.
Verify that all pivot points are lubricated and that the shift linkage is perfectly aligned without binding.
Ensure the shift rod is properly locked in place and the shift arm is indexed correctly on the shift shaft spline.
This kit is compatible with Honda CBR 1000 RR motorcycles spanning the 2004-2016 model years. Installation should be performed by a technician familiar with rearset adjustments and linkage geometry. Ensure all bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications and use thread-locking compound on all linkage pivot points to prevent vibration-induced loosening. Regularly inspect the linkage rods and joints for debris or excessive play after every track weekend to ensure crisp shifting performance.
