Has anyone heard of putting the front and rear brakes as the levers on the handle bars,(rear brake in place of the clutch), and the clutch and shifter as foot controls, (I assume leaving the shifter where it is and putting the clutch in place of the rear brake pedal in the right)

I know its a strange request but I have someone asking me to do this for them, and I figure its possible, I have a few ideas for it, but I’ve never heard it done before…

thoughts and ideas?

 

Clutch will have to be made able to stay in disengaged position like a tank shift model
Seems like a lot of work for no gain

Right foot up depress clutch
Right foot down
Left foot up select first gear
Left foot down
Right foot up to release clutch
PITA

 

So what happens when you're at a stop and have it in neutral?

 

You do the hopscotch maneuver mentioned above

 

Yes, but at a stop even if one foot is used to depress the clutch, it's a bit of a dance to shift and keep the bike balanced.

Probably better to use an electronic or quick shifter.

 

The clutch pedal stays where you put it like a stock tank shift bike

 

Ahhh the dreaded tank shift bike. Missed that part.

 

You want to have a foot shift and a foot clutch? Should be an interesting ride.

Better make them sign a waiver...

 

That's why it was called suicide shift. Sort of fun, but hills are a bitch.
