Go to the website for The Horse Backstreet Choppers. Start looking for the article on converting a Triumph to foot clutch with hand shift if you want a pedal clutch. Very easy conversion.
You can set it all up off the lever fairly easily if you get your hands on some 7/8" handlebar scrap, a clutch perch and handle, and can get a custom cable made up somewhere (check a lawn mower repair shop).
Prefer a bell crank set-up with rods instead of a cable (zero cable slack issues, but watch for linkage binding). Stock throttle rods off a 48-60 Plymouth 218/230 L6 are just about the right size, NAPA sells the little ball studs they pivot on.
On a "normal" bike where the shifter mounting stud is visible, the conversion is easy. On a bike like a Savage, where the stud is not readily accessible, the conversion can be a royal pain in the a$$. I had mine almost done, swapped it back to stock.
Get in touch with some of the metric friendly custom shops and see what they say. Start with Dime City Cycles and go from there...
