Mines like Drews but black. Just takes a little getting use to. I don't think you'll regret it, well your wallet might!

Living in New England, I've got lots of hills. Sitting at a red light, heading up hill, turning left is still a bitch. I find that because my foot is on and off the floor boards, shifting around while riding, I have a hard time gauging where the clutch will kick-in. Nothing scarier than thinking you're in 1st, letting the clutch out and find your shift wasn't positive enough and you're still in neutral. Almost droped the bike a couple of times! It is getting easier. I've only got about 400 miles on the setup.:icon_toast:

I have about 20K on mine and it gets much easier. I think i did 400 miles in the first week as I had to feel comfortable with it.

Just for the record mine is real and so is Lundee's ;) If you're gonna put a jockey shifter just make it the real deal brah... Once you get used to it it's all good and two up it cake so no worries ;)

As far as feel goes I prefer a boot with soft rubber lugs it really helps.

I have a friend who added a dummy to his beautiful nostalgic Fat Boy, but I can't find a picture that shows more detail on the mounting points. It would be awesome if you could make it look this good and work!

Go for the real deal. Not as hard as you might think to get used to it...
I dont regret it!
