Haha... I totally feel that way. I find myself trying to explain that to people all the time. Thats why I painted the "FTW" on my derby cover, hoping they will ask "whats that?"

not sure if you rode jockey before... or how you ride... i like jockey shifts on smaller bikes... i power though my gears WAY to hard on my bob to ever want a jockey shift also with teh 49mm front forks and the apes they have alot more weight to them as do the smaller forks... so slamming though gears with 1 hand up on the ape and the other at your side is not that easy... not easy at all!
just my 2c's
my cb bobber will be jockey with foot clutch, with flat tracker bars to make coming out on that sucker a bit easier...
a fella with a sporty did a great write up on his home made one... just awesome... if you do this i HIGHLY sugest a foot clutch... HIGHLY...

find someone with one if you have never road it to see if you like it man... looks cool but not alot of people like how they ride
anyways... this is how he did it, this is how i am doing mine on my little bob as well
Foot clutch Jockey shift
