yeah on a mc22, and most older bikes, new ones im not so sure about.
hmm i cant seem to think of an easy way of explaining it, have a look at where you gear lever connects to the gearbox, i cant remember if the bolt sits above or below the actual selector thingy, either way swap it around, 2 minute job. just gotta make sure before you tighten it all back up that your gear lever wont foul on the rearset (this had me stumped for a few minutes), also you should check to see where you set it is gonna b confortable before you tighten everything up as this was also a pain in the ass doing it over and over again.
pretty shit description i know but just have a look you'll work it out once you see what im talking about

Unless you've got a valid reason to do it, I wouldn't. There's absolutely nothing wrong with setting up reverse shift mechanically speaking, but if you ever want to ride someone else's bike or have someone ride yours, it's dangerous, especially the transition when you're getting used to it.
Instinct is trained through repetition, no matter how conscious you are of the swap, during the transition when the shit hits the fan on the road you'll revert back to instinct and shift the wrong way. It happened to me, massive compression lock at a time when I needed go, got away with it, but left me with undies resembling Ontik's (except being man sized :blush.
