41 knuckle
had more fun yesterday then i've had in a while. pulled up to my friends house yesterday and met his new roommate.new roomate has a few bikes, roadglide, fxr, and a 41 knuckle. that knuckle is bad azz. paucho springer, apes, suicide shift w/mousetrap clutch. was checking it out and i told him it was an awesome bike and he said ya wanna ride it? i was on that thing so damn quick. keep in mind this is the first foot clutch, suicide shift bike i've ever ridden and he's 6 foot something while i'm 5 foot nothing. getting moving from a dead stop was kind interesting for me, accidentaly ripped the front wheel up about 2 feet high and completley scared the crap out of myself. it was so damn fun, cruised the neighborhoodfor a while on it and practised shifting and what not. had a blast. had perma grin for the rest of the day. just had to share the experience w/ you guys.

RE: 41 knuckle
Sounds like you had a little fun!
And now I'm gonna be **** on ya!
It's a suicide clutch, not suicide shift. If the shift lever was attached directly to the tranny, it's a jockey shift. Otherwise it is usually called a hand-shift, or tank shift. A mousetrap is a device mounted on the left front frame downtube used to increase the mechanical advantage of early hand clutches. It isn't used with a foot clutch, whether it's a suicide clutch or a rocker clutch.
