It's an interesting look on the right bike, but I doubt I'd ever consider doing it to mine.

Is the Jockey shift the latest fad? I'm starting to wonder if everyone will start doing it and it no longer sets a bike apart from the crowd.
Functionally, IMHO, there is no reason to retrofit to a jockey shift for performance reasons. Its all about aesthetics, cool factor and fun factor. If too many people are getting them, I don't think I would do it.

I forgot to tell them guys that part 97.I had an old pan that was fun as hell to ride for a couple of seasons but that was about it before the fun factor wore it out.My pan had no front brake and I can tell you more than once I swore I was getting one the next day.
I got to agree with JayDee if it ain't old iron and got a kicker on the other side it doesn't complete the os factor completelyG.

I'm more of a tank shift guy myself

, Little bit of a learning curve, but a total blast to ride.

If you don't do it, you'll always wonder if you should. Just decide on which set-up you want and get 'er done.

I am not a fan of them, not for me but I think if you had 2 bikes then one with a jockey would be cool to have. Go for it if thats what you want, they do look cool
