Two-Finger Clutch Mod
...and pic test. (I amimbedded pic impaired)
I had the clutch perch re-welded 1/4" longer (out from the handle bar) so I can now engage the clutch using two fingers (keeping two on the grip).
Works well, but should have made it even longer. (Cost me 20 bucks for the TIG)
Next time I'll add metal to the perch and have the mirror hole moved out a good inch, to the other side of the pivot. That way I will not see my shoulder in 1/3 of the mirror...
BTW my Motorcycle Safety Course Instructor was CONSTANTLY messing with me to keep ALL FOUR FINGERS on the grips - old habits die hard...
