Looking for a pre made foot clutch and jockey shift for the 2005 deluxe.

I run the LaBriola on my ride. I love it. I opted for teh tank shifter as opposed the jockey shifter with my apes as I find it easier to reach down by the tank than all the way back behind my leg. Here are a few pics. I can get them for you if you want. Please PM or email me at DREW@DRVTWIN.COM for specific pricing.

Someone else actually rode my bike last week for the first time since adding this to it. They Dyno guy, Geoff Gaites took it or a test ride after the tune. Most people look at it and ask a lot of questions, that is all. Definitely a theft deterrent for someone who would consider riding it away.

How hard is it to ride a setup like that? Seems like a lot going on at once.

this is just my opinion , however I rode a lot of bikes with a foot clutch ,and tank shifter..the old (1948 61 cu was my first one) it had the slide shifter..never knew what gear you found . now the shifter is just a "pop up /popdown"
If you just wanna ride to the cafe/bar , and sit and talk how cool it is ,then go ahead..
If you ride a lot ,(multiple miles at a time) then the foot shift ,hand clutch is the way to go ..
I even had a foot clutch, and no front wheel brake for awhile ..( that was fun,(not)
Of course this is from an old rider ...suit yourself
