Overview
Reversible Shift Arm with 4 mounting positions*. Anodized billet aluminum in your choice of Black, Silver or Gold. Fits most recent Ducati models. (Not compatible with Panigale series).
Works with both standard and reverse (GP style) shift pattern** setups. Can be used with SATO RACING Rear Sets or the stock Ducati rear sets.
* The optional Sato Rod End and Jam nut (in the drop down) is necessary if you want to use the mount position closest to the spindle.
** Some Ducati models, such as later Multistrada and Hypermotard, cannot be used in reverse shift pattern due to the design of the stock shift linkage, along with interference issues.
Kit includes bolt to attach stock rod end to shift arm. Use with the OEM lock nut (earlier Ducati models). The holes in our Shift Arm are not threaded, so if installing on newer Ducati's that come with a threaded hole in the OEM shift arm, you will also need the optional Lock Nut M6.
Shift Arm can be flipped either direction. Rod end can be attached to the back side of the Shift Arm, provided there is enough clearance.
Multiple mounting positions let you adjust the shift stroke, for a shorter or longer throw.

SATO RACING 'GOLD'
Important
info about Sato's GOLD-anodized parts Aluminum anodizing is an
electrochemical process that increases the thickness of a passive,
naturally occurring, protective aluminum oxide film. Without this
process, regular aluminum will corrode and become weak. Anodizing
provides protection from these effects. One known drawback of anodized
GOLD is its tendency to fade with prolonged exposure to UV rays. Since
this does not affect the primary purpose of anodizing - corrosion
protection - Color fading is not covered by the Sato Racing warranty.
Customers should also be aware that most GOLD Sato parts are anodized in a unique tone that they call 'Osaka Gold' (deep and vivid, with hints of orange/ copper) that likely won't be an exact match with other anodized gold parts you may already have on your bike, especially from other manufacturers. Additionally, due to variations of the gold tone between batches of parts that are anodized, replacement Gold parts could be a slightly different shade of gold than the original part. Sato Racing will not accept a warranty return on a GOLD part that the buyer decides to return solely because they are unsatisfied with the shade of gold. New GOLD items that have not yet been installed can be returned but there may be a restocking fee of up to 20%, particularly in cases where the parts have been removed from the packaging and handled. So if you decide to go for the GOLD, it should be with the full understanding of these limitations of gold anodizing.
