Probably that is what Matsuzawa also did. Most Japanese bikes are build so that you can get access and do that by taking the side cover off.
It really does sound interesting. Does this mean the only mechanism that differs a sequential gearbox from a non sequential is a neutral block lever? That seems too easy.

I cant imagine it would deter shifting very much if done properly, as long as your foot makes a full shifter motion to complete the shift all the way through. It would be like going from 1st,through neutral, into 2nd (as it is now), but on every gear change.

Would you guys be able to provide me some more information on this? And i mean besides just simply talking about it. I'd like to know what to do.
