RE: Who's got a jockey shift?
My input was just an idea to him....not a physics problem...ifthis wasabout old school stylebikes, most don't even have a front brake...so if you have to put one foot on the rear brake on a incline and the other foot on a foot clutch.............what happens? But even if you put this setup on a modern bike....it still could be a problem on a hill or even in parking lot....Lets not make this a pissin' match......

And furthermore, the subject line reads, "Who's got a jockey shift" not "What do you guys with no experience riding suicide think about me adding a foot clutch to my bike?" Not to be a dick, but 99% of the people who haven't ridden suicide are gonna say negative things because they don't understand it. Just my informed 2 cents.

Hey Barhpr I'm not sure if your going forfunction or the look. If by chance its more the look you can get a "Fat-Stick" from Twister City Customs. Seems to be fairly popular around here. I have oneon my Deluxe andI get alot of positive comments.

plus if you make it hand shift you can officially call your bike "old school" which is awesome. unless it's fuel injected then it would just be "old school inspired" kinda like the HD Boner.
