B25 gear pattern reversal

[Stephen Ruffle]

Has anyone tried reversing the gear pattern on a B25 ie: one down and three up instead of one up and three down? My B50 is one down and thee up and the part list show the cam plate as the same part number. Is it just a matter of flipping the cam plate upside down?

It's as simple as that.

Thanks Mark, now I need to decide whether to reverse B25 or B50.

What other bikes do you ride?  Over many years I have found "1 up" as on older BSAs more natural but it does mean pressing down on the left foot and up on the right when slowing down.  I used to also ride a Harley, left change "1-down" and struggled with both feet going down as I would try to brake with the gear.
