I think the reverse lock-out is there to prevent mistaking it for a gear. I'm pretty sure that with MTX75s the reverse gear uses the same syncro as 2nd and 4th. I'm not sure about this but it seems right.
I also removed my reverse lockout to expand my options with knobs. The lock-out ready knobs are few and pretty expensive. one problem with removing the lock-out is finding a way of keeping the boot up against the knob. I solved this problem using a spring. looks pretty good eh?
