Reverse Gear Shifter Recommendations?
Before I start researching... can anyone recommend a reverse gear shifter that they have used/seen. It would need to be adjustable for reach.
Cheers.

Motowheels sells a number of them. Not sure how much adjustability you need, but the eccentric toe peg provides some - about 1" or so.
I have their standard shift lever. It is very nice, but a bit shorter than stock even adjusted to max length, and so a bit more effort to shift.
Good luck finding any of them on MW's "improved" website though. Wow - the old setup was so much easier to use!

I have the SSR. They offer 2 versions, but one is intended specifically to be used with stock controls. works very well. Also, like 1/2 the price of the rest.

I use the stock '06 rearsets with the clamp on the transmisson shift shaft flipped over 180 degrees. I also put a slight "S" bend in the shifter rod for better mechanical advantage. You can do it without the bending the rod to see how you like it. Once in a while I still bang the shifter the wrong direction.

For one, you can have your foot ready to shift up exiting a full-lean corner, without dragging your toes on the ground. Downshifting is usually done when upright, so no issue putting your foot under the lever for that.
Personally, even on the track, I am nowhere near needing to do this...besides, the first dozen laps would be terrifying.

weird! I didn't even know things like this existed. It would definitely make my ATV to street bike transition much more seamless
