| OK so this is the
last piece of my track bike build puzzle and it has also
been the most wishy-washy as information out of Japan
keeps changing... As a distributor of Sato Racing
products I was hoping they would come through with rear
sets that allow GP shift and initially it looked like
that was NOT going to happen then they started working on
designs for the newer CB1000F model which is almost
idential to the Hornet SP and it looks like they found a
solution to adding reverse shift without messing up the
factory Quickshift /Autoblip electronics, but I still as
of 08/24/26 do not have confirmation that this is going
to be available for the Hornet... I will no doubt still install their rear
sets as the quality is amazing and double ball bearings
instead of bushing gives me the exact engagement and feel
I have come to expect from my rear sets, but if they do
not have an option for Reverse shift pattern with the
electronics then I am going to modify their base model
rear sets and use the factory pivot arm on the bike to
add a rotating shift platform like they used to do on the
older CBR600RR's and 1000RR's. I am currently waiting on
a few more parts to arrive to complete this mock up
Idea #1

Idea #2 -
Problem Solved
This rotational axis will allow GP Shift with a different
lever from on the Sato Racing Base Plate

Essentially this is
the way the Sato Racing Rear sets for the Hornet SP have
been designed on the shifter side.

I am going to
install this type of pedal with the rotational axis to
allow the Reverse Shift
