I am struggling to figure out the best location for my rear sets for the gear shifter and rear brake. I am tall (6’6”) and my feet are about a size 13-14. Do you guys prefer the gear shifter further out on the toe on the boot, or closer in? Watching MotoGP it seems like maybe I have the shifter too close and I need to move it further away? Had a couple of false neutrals on the last track day so I think part of it is my shifter location. Takes too much foot action to gear up (I am not riding GP shift yet as I can’t figure out how to convert my S1000XR). I did adjust my S1000XR the other day to lower it further away from my foot (moved it down a bit) and I think I like that a lot more.
So curious what other folks do to figure out the best location? Seems like it’s very personal for each person so not quite sure how to find the right location for myself.
For reference I have an S1000RR track bike with alpha racing tail and fairing kit with the high seat and Lightech R- rear sets.
I think I might swap to GP shift for the next track day and see how I like that. And I am considering making my own adapter for the S1000XR to flip it to GP shift also.
