I shift without the clutch so often I don't even think about it. Upshift, just relax the throttle a bit to take the load off the cogs & click it in. Downshift, just give the throttle a squirt & click it down at the same time. Up[shift to second from first isn't good under hard acceleration. D/shift to first requires a serious throttle application to not drag the rear wheel. Just try using the throttle to make shifting easy, it works!

     I have put jockey shifts on a lot of bikes over the years and never used a foot clutch. Just use the one on the bars. I know what you are thinking, How do you use your left hand to pull in the clutch, and your left hand to shift at the same time? Answer; you don't. Just shift like Just an old guy and I described and no problems. If for some reason you did not get down to 1st before stopping just reach across with your right hand and pop it into 1st. I have a Triumph chopper that I built 2yrs, ago(for sale) that has a right foot shift and a left hand shift. I have already figured out how to put a "Jock" on the Savage. Very simple really. If you need to know how just PM me.You also wouldn't believe how easy it is to find Nuetral with the hand shift.
