Default Automatic Transmission?

Is there anyone that is building an auto trans for an HD?&nbsp\\; A friend of mine is handicap and has an Electra Glide Trike, but is having a difficult time shifting and needs the brakes moved over to the left side.&nbsp\\; Any ideas?

Look into a centrifugal clutch, like the Revloc or others out there some are better than others, I have also heard of a power shifter push the button for up or down and it does it for you.&nbsp\\;I actually saw that on this site somewhere,&nbsp\\;just don't&nbsp\\;remember where. &nbsp\\;I know Ridley makes an Automatic, don't know if it will fit on the HD.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Hope this gave you some ideas.

I've never heard of an automtic gearbox for a Harleybut there are devices that will help you shift.
Check out Kliktronic (ww.kliktronic.co.uk), this might be the solution for your friend.
Good luck,
Dries

The reverse gear feature would be especially nice in this case.
