No upside,but it is fun to ride. Downside is you better not lean to the left at a red light

you use your left foot to operate the clutch....
you are clutching with your left foot and sifting with your left hand....

He's not finished with it yet. The clutch will be where the foot shifter is. So he will press the clutch down with his foot and shift the tank shifter with his left hand. Once it is finished there will be no lever on the handlebars. Hope this helps
