suicide shifter
 

anyone make an aftermarket one for the 07xl? i think it would be a nice addition to the nightster

Ah me thinks a little harley 101 is in order.
What most people call a suicide shifter is in reality a jockey shift. This is a shift arm that attaches to the tranny like your shift leaver does but is run vertically to be shifted by hand . It was first used back in the days of foot clutch tank {hand} shift. The term suicide was used in reference to the foot clutch not the shifter for when the spring that kept the foot clutch in the disengaged position was removed so you had to keep your foot on the clutch when stopped . If your foot slipped off the clutch would engage causing the bike to lurtch forward. And yes I know even the guys from OCC refer to a jockey shift as a suicide shift but they are wrong!

Interesting, I never thought of it that way, just thought it was suicide trying to shift with your hand!

HaHaHa...that was good.

And another Nightster is about to bite the dust!!!!!!

Yeah, but it will look cool doing it.

I googled it and I seen several for 03's and eariler. Nothing really on anthing later.

These guys may work for ya-

I only found them on google, never talk to nor bought anything from them. Good luck finding what you want!

What are you going to hold the clutch in with M65, your teeth? :D

... don't fall down! :cool:

Like their suicide clutch, but not sold on the jockey setup:

Here's what appears to be a better jockey lever:

I'm sure I have seen a hand shift with the clutch lever attached to it so you can do everything with your left hand. Can't remember what catalogue it was in though.
