Thinking of going Jockey Shift!

Doing a little reading and found this thread...............
Just wanted to chime in to say I placed an order with the DR. for the LaBriola kit with a tank shifter. I ride an FLHT in denim black. I have to say I'm excited about the whole new style and can't wait for it to come in.
Here is my ride.............

According to WIKI and I agree...More technically, suicide clutch can refer to clutch controls lacking a detent on the foot clutch, which would otherwise allow the rider to lock the clutch in the disengaged position. Early foot-clutch motorcycles, such as those from Harley-Davidson and Indian, allowed the rider to lock the clutch foot pedal, so they could place both feet on the ground when stopped. If this device was disabled, or a custom foot clutch installed that had no detent, it was referred to as a "suicide clutch" because stopping the motorcycle in gear required the rider to keep his foot on the pedal. Should he lose his balance and put the left foot down, the motorcycle could lurch forward into cross traffic
