Default jockey shift kit recommendation?

I have a 2013 softail slim and I want to find a quality jockey shift kit. Not a tank shift, but an under-the-leg true jockey shifter. I haven't had much luck looking online as most are tank-shift setups.

I also haven't been able to find an under-leg shifter with a hand clutch, only tank shifters seem to have hand clutches.

If anyone has recommendations please also provide the link to where I can find out more and purchase.

(Yes I went through the jockey shift thread, there were hundreds of pages with people just showing pics but not where a person can buy them.)

Thanks

LaBriola makes the best Jockey shift kit if you ask me. As far as putting the clutch lever on the jockey shift as illustrated above? Not for me. Why move the clutter from your bars somewhere else? A foot clutch is easier than you think, don't sweat it. Go with a foot clutch!

Labriola is a awesome set up. But for the set up you want I'm not sure.
Do you want the hand clutch so you can still put your feet down?

Labriola it is. Thanks for the help guys.

I like the feel of a hand clutch, but A foot clutch sounds like it'll be a better setup. Appreciate the tips

I have a labriola kit and the wife was not keen on one footed take offs so I rigged up the hand clutch for taking off. Once your moving its all foot clutch and I love it.

That's a pretty slick setup for using the hand clutch!
