Put the clutch on the right side. I rode a friends with clutch on left just wasn't comfortable and wanted something different. So I moved the rear brake to the shifter and the clutch to the rear brake.

This thread reminds me of what my old man used to say years ago:

"Automatic transmissions and power steering are the only reasons a LOT of guys are truck drivers."

Just sayin.

I put about 200 miles on Saturday and Sunday I got home last night and found a problem. The custom rear fender is attached to the swingarm in three locations. I found that a bolt had fallen out of one of the mid point connections, which put extra stress on the other mid point connection, which caused it to fail (break). Fortunately the other connections held up.
Today I refabricated the brackets that failed. Hopefully that will fix the problem. We will see...............

FOOT clutch...

I love them,,, had one in the 63 Chevy Convt. my 65 Chevy, My 67 GTO. when I was younger.

Motorcycle... Footclutch,,, Not for me. All I need is my right knee which gives me problems to give out. Then I wouldn't have a leg to stand on....
