I am planning on putting a jockey shift on my 08 Fat Boy. I am having a hard time trying to figure out if I want to order the shift arm longer (an inch or two).
From the pics that I see it appears the shift arm seems to be located "under" your left leg, I just don't want to have to go searching for a shift arm when I need to.

Just wondering if anyone else finds their jockey shift to short or has extended their shift arm a bit ?

Thank in advance.

 

Never had an issue with mine. Been running it a couple years now.....

 

Actually, I find mine is too long and would like it to be shorter. Order the kit as is and don't worry about it, you'll be fine.

 

I have this same issue, but its mostly my wife that complains about it....

 

I built my own foot clutch setup, but I picked up a shift arm on eBay and ended up modifying it a bit. I just wanted it in a different spot, it would have worked just fine the way it came. You'll find no matter where it's located, the first few times you reach for it you'll be searching a bit, but after that muscle memory takes over and ya don't even think about it anymore. Good luck, you'll love the foot/jockey setup!

 

thanks for the replies, I appreciate it.

I will go with the standard La Briola set up.

 

make sure to post pictures when ya get it put on. iv been thinking about this setup for the last year or so...

 

Definitely !

 

I've also been thinking about this setup, I even went one step further and bought it, LOL, its still in the garage waiting to be fitted, I just can't seem to get around to fitting it, maybe one day soon.

 

Might have to upgrade or is this considered a downgrade?
