Default suicide shifter

I've been bouncing the idea around of putting a suicide shifter on my Crossbones. What are your guys' opinions? Also what are some good websites to look for one? Thanks guys

The coolness factor is very high. If you haven't ridden with one you'd better try it first, not for the faint of heart read&nbsp\\;**Newbies need not apply**. Riding in heavy traffic in the&nbsp\\;city and stopping on&nbsp\\;hills is a bitch. Bikes low to the ground make it an easier transition. You need to be good at balancing your bike with only one leg and one arm when shifting from a full stop thats why stop and go traffic bites. Installing an auto clutch&nbsp\\;will make things easier, only then you'll be&nbsp\\;a poser.
If your interested I've got one for sale. Got it from Fabricator Kevin, made by LaBriola.
