The bike looks & sounds good, a very clean ride. Congratulations! Growing up in the early 60s and 70s, I hung around older boys from my neighbourhood who were chopping down Harley trikes and side cars (bought at police auctions & army surplus). Many of those chopped bikes had a foot (rocket type) clutch, a hand shifter (3 forward & reverse 😎) usually on/by the gas tank. Rigid frame and a kicker of course. Now, if you want to use the term ‘suicide clutch’ rightly, you have to have these 4 things on a motorcycle: 1) 2 wheels (no side car or trike) 2) A ‘foot clutch’ (not the rocker) 3) A ‘hand shift’ 4) NO FRONT BRAKES My own ride is a custom built (2008), with a softail chopper frame (Rolling Thunder), an S & S shovelhead (93ci) with a foot clutch and a jockey shift and a front (disc) brake, NOT a true ‘suicide clutch’ set up. Having a ‘foot clutch’ & a ‘hand shift’, doesn’t make it a ‘suicide clutch’, sorry. Some even call that set up a ‘suicide shifter’. I saw a product called a ‘suicide shifter’. The clutch lever is on the shifter (stick) instead of handle bar. Not cool and dangerous at low speed in first gear… There is nothing suicidal about a hand shift/foot clutch combination if you have brakes on the front wheel. The ‘rocker foot clutch’ is something else but basically the same. Some like it better. The reason it’s called a ‘suicide clutch’, is because with this set up, the rider can't stop on an upward incline for a street light, a stop sign or for any other reasons unless he has a buddy riding along behind who would put his front tire against your rear wheel to hold your motorcycle from rolling back. Hand shifting a motorcycle is not dangerous or that difficult and it’s ‘cool’, I love mine, but without front brakes, it could be ‘tricky’ at times to say the least. I lived through those times and it’s just my opinion and there’s probably more to it. You can call it whatever you want, it’s your ride.😎
a Jockey shift has NO ratchet-top shifting tower. first is back at your ass. second is at your hip. third at your knee. fourth just above the primary. unless you are using the shifting gate bracket on the side of your tank. a suicide clutch has no device to hold the clutch dissingaged. your foot sliding off in traffic because you dabbed your foot down if your bike running and IN GEAR started tilting to the left...and OFF YOU GO ! Hence, the term 'suicide clutch'. A gearbox fitted with a ratchet top and a hand shifter is called..A GYPSY shift. I rode this way for over 20 years. You are all welcome for this accurate tutorial from the old days.
Nice video about installing a foot clutch with a cable, but you should investigate the ‘hydraulic’ foot clutch control, it’s a good option. By the way, your set up is not a jokey shift, you should know better… Cheers…😎
I bought one of there back when fun kit but for the price it should come with a cable you don't have to cut up being motion pro will make you a nice one for 28 buck and shifter should be threaded for a regular nob so when the set screw vibrates loos and it goes flying you can screw a new cool nob of choice on then it would be a good value for those who can't cut and weld metal if your cheap you can build one for 50 bucks lol
There is no such thing as a "suicide shift" just a suicide clutch. the original suicide clutches were made by modifying the stock heel toe foot clutches.
@@hardtailsuicidaljockey6827 nah the name jockey shift comes from having to take your hand off the bike. Just like a suicide shifter is a name for any hand shift with a suicide foot clutch set up. Not just a rocker foot clutch. And more specifically one running no front brake.
@@bmxriderforlife1234 again you are worng the term jockey shift comes from when you shift with your had below your knee it looks like a jockey whipping his horse . I ride a suicide clutch and jockey shift with no front brakes for over 30 years . I'll bet my bike on it .
Do they have or make model specific kits??? I have a 2005 Road King Police bike and won't to do this to that bike... Any suggestions??? Thank you in advance...
