I made my own shift.... https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-VmVmTdfh7l4/TQ_Y3xeVMpI/AAAAAAAACOQ/bt5RYzCUiTw/s640/P1000916.JPG To reduce the effect of a weighted lever working on the shifter shaft, I used hollow tubing, and a light weight knob. This was the first test position (and length)....... https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ShZSF91uMmI/TRJ11J2KXfI/AAAAAAAACRU/0K7gjtGewSE/s512/P1000921.JPG And the final product https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-2z-PfiX6SZY/TdzlJgPD0sI/AAAAAAAADL4/pMryOCOepn8/s640/IMG_0380.JPG +1 on the Labriola clutch setup..... https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-3l42GlmeXNg/TdzlJKVQVQI/AAAAAAAADL0/MaefSPZtQsM/s640/IMG_0379.JPG https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-O5-VUF7fVB8/Tdzk8fKj8qI/AAAAAAAADLQ/_l5hOw0oAo4/s640/IMG_0370.JPG

I've thought about this foot clutch for a while, and I have a question. Is there any rubbing or binding when using the foot clutch? I ask this because after looking at the close-up pics it seems like that when you use the clutch you're pulling downward on the cable possibly rubbing the cable on the edge. It seems like it wouldn't pull the cable in a straight line, is that a problem at all?

If setup correctly there shouldn't be any rubbing on the side of the cable. Here's a pic of the setup I made this winter. These pics are from mock up, it's since been pc'd black, and that aluminum plate behind it is trimmed and finished, but you get the basic idea. No issues with rubbing so far, and because the cable end is about the same height as where it enters the trans, the cable is pretty much constantly lubed with tranny fluid!

Here are some pics of my LaBriola jockey shift. I was on the fence about doing this mod. But like everyone else who goes with this mod, I'm having a ball riding like this.

Sure, It's actually a trick I learned on this forum. It's ther to cover the hole that's left when you remove the clutch mount. Some people use silicone to glue it on. I used double sided body molding tape. You just have to layer the tape until it sticks out past the bottle caps edge.
