for those that want both feet on the ground, at stops... i connected a swivel point to my rear foot peg holes... so that i have a RIGHT hand jockey shifter, right behind /next to my right thigh, and as the lever gets pressed back, the rod pulls a connector rod to the left shifter rod, so i can shift up or down using my right hand..
so as i'm accelerating, all i do drop my arm down, and it hits the glass ****/shifter arm and flies back up to the throttle grip. i've gotten better at it so i'm faster now. Not as fast as a stock set up, and i'm not about dragging anyways.
i just wanted to be different, "old school" , but also wanted to keep my left hand clutch.
