I woudl like to see it as well.. now are you going to do a full suicideshift, complete with foot clutch or you just going to do the looker with the shift bracket attached to the linkage? i have seen a few, alll of which use the horn location bracket as the piviot point... (works well)... I love the look of a suicide shifter, however, i slam though my gears way to hard not to have both hands on the bars... not to mention at slow speeds they SUCK!A few years back one of my dads buddies bought a bike with one... he loved the look, hated the ride... sold it shortly there after... I would love to see what you come up with... please post some pics!
