Title: Jockey shifter
Post by Krisrkeyes on 07/05/14 at 19:16:01

Hey guys. Wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the cafe, but I just wondered if anybody ever put a jockey shifter/ hand shifter on their bike? I can't really say I'm planning on it at all, but I've seen some cool custom builds on here and wondered if anyone went that way with the clutch/shifter and had some pics.

It can be done. I think some have.I'd never do that.I like being in control too much. Howzatt gonna work out when someone puts you in a tight spot and you need to downshift RIGHT NOW and lay on the gas?I don't want a Nifty looking mod deciding how many hands I have on the handlebars. They stopped making those for a reason.

Yea, I agree with ya. As cool as it looks, I like being alive. But if anybody had done it, since it does look cool, I just wanted to see it.

There are at least a couple older threads about the jockey shifter. I love how it looks, but wouldn't want to drive one too often.

I like the way a bobber looks,but I like what fenders do more.
