In my opinion. its cheating ..Having the clutch on the shifter . its not true suicide , as they claim ! . go for a Labriola ... Had mine on for 18 months . love it ...

I have a hard time saying this because I'm a dangerous idiot who runs a jockey, no front brake no signals, fender, etc. but that sounds about as unsafe as it gets. You will always have a hand off the bar, plus it looks lame. Jockey it up.

I would add that I had the Labriola sat in the Garage for a over a year, cos it terrified me!
I was over thinking it. I learnt it easy... Just do it !
