Default Left handed throttle for impaired riders

I am new to the Harley world. I only have my left hand and a hook for my right. I just purchased a 2001 heritage soft tail. I installed a left side throttle and a Rekluse auto clutch. Much easier to ride now. I got this piece from lowbrow customs.

Then reversed the cables at the carburetor.

Do what you gota do to get your knees in the breeze.

In 1979 I lost some fingers on my left hand. Pulled off the left mirror and turned the entire hand lutch assembly over so the clutch lever was faring me, so instead of squeezing the lutch lever, I could push it with my palm. Rode it like that for several months until my hand healed up.

Ride on.

Glade to see you are still riding. I lost my left leg above the knee in 14 and i now ride a trike with a hand shift. I agree! Gotta do what ya have to do to keep your knees in the breeze. Or in my case "knee" in the breeze.
I look at it this way, Look at all the money i have saved on socks !

I am surpised that there are not more places to buy things for the biker without all their parts.
