Did you take your front brake off to make this a true Suicide Shift??? I don't understand why people would do that, I can not imagine trying to stop with my right foot and pushing the clutch in with my left and then trying to keep my bike up when coming to a stop.

I want to put a hand shift on my bike with the foot clutch.

Blue Angel,

No I did not lol I wanted to but then realized how much of a B**** it would be having to stop, lane split, etc. its not a true suicide shift, but it does catch a lot of attention and is a bit tricky at times!

All you have to do is throw it in neutral when slowing down. I ran my chopper like that for a summer. Granted I lived in South Dakota - no traffic.

that looks sweet!!! where did you get it if you dont mind me asking. my first bike was a jockey shift and it was a challenge to ride but eventually i got it down. that bike only had 20hp so i cant imagine it on a harley.

The shifter in the top pic is from Widow Maker. http://widowmakerindustries.com/

If you want to do a foot clutch you can get that from LaBriola Machine http://www.lajockeyshifter.com/
