Default Foot clutch for 2017 Softail Slim

Due to a left hand injury may just have to put a foot clutch on my 2017 Slim. Any body done one.

As of now I don't know how my hand will heal and work.
The Slim has the hydraulic clutch so not sure if either of these product will work.
I had a 49 Panhead set up with ratchet top shifter and foot clutch I rode for years.
I feel I can convert this one to the same set up by using a slave cylinder and with foot lever to operate.
Thanks a bunch for the reply.

Have you given a Rekluse auto clutch a look.... ? There are a couple choices in this area, Rekluse seems to have a good reputation...

Many thanks, first impressions looks like it will work.
I will be doing some research on this one. Thanks

I have web surfed all day long, going to give these folks a call and see if I can get a warm and fuzzy.
Looks like a straight forward swap and they have some great videos. I do all my own wrenching just not sure a one handed man could handle it. I am going to ask who they would recommend in my area.

Several years ago, I was going to convert an older twin cam bike into a foot clutch/hand shift bike. It has been years (40) since I road one. I was thinking of the rekluse clutch as a safety net for big hills, uneven roads, panic stops, and such...

At that time, I couldn't find anyone who had a bad thing to say about them. A good friend, former military, had a couple friends use one so they could continue to ride after injury... they loved them.

Good luck ... !
