suicide clutch
ok, i am a 33 years old green beret. i recently stepped on something i shouldnt have, while on a mission in afghan land. i am now at Walter Reed with no feet. i own 2 road kings, and still wanna ride. once the give me some Forrest Gump "magic legs" i will be mobile, but shifting gears is gonna be an issue.
i already bought a pingel electronic shifter. and i think that will help a ton, but...... it doesnt get to neutral. so i think a suicide shift would help me find neutral with my hand in a much safer (oddly) manner.
question: where can i buy a kit? i been looking online, i google searched all over, and i searched this sight. found lots of home made stuff for older bikes, but nothing that fit my needs.
thanks a ton in advance,
corb

I watch reruns of 1950's Highway Patrol ... and the cops & bad guys all drive suicide shift ... fun watching them pop the clutch (literally) ! & doing burnouts ...

The LA Jockey Shift kit is the standard of the industry. It's made by LaBriola Machine in Denver. Rick, the owner, has built a few feature bikes for magazines. Dr. V Twin, a sponsor here sells them, and I believe Drew uses one himself. P.M Dr. V Twin and they'll fix you up.
Sorry about your feet man. I was a grunt back in the sixties. I have a couple of buds who wore the green beanie back in the day.

Sorry, but I just have to mention that your desire to "find a way" to keep riding is the ultimate example of a "true" biker. I've got mad respect for you and your love for riding. I hope you find a mod solution that works for you. I'm confident a custom bike builder could do some sort of mod like this.
