Default Twist Clutch

Anyone know what the deal is with it? Does it make it like a hydraulic clutch and not as stiff or what?

I have seen it on some custom choppers. Don't know much about it..but it looks like you would end up with a good case of wrist sprain using it all the time.

Ohhhhh, I see how it works now. So instead of pulling a clutch lever, you just twist it like a throttle. Sounds a little painful, but I do like the look of no levers near the handle bars. Anything that eliminates wires is okay in my book.

it evens out the carple tunner to both left and right wrists
just another way to clean up the bars. I see they added a block n tackle somwhat inside the trany cover
:shrug:
throttle is simple, twist and hold
but the clutch twist would look a little silly I think
