These are pretty trick. One of the owner has one one his bike and his son does as well. If you remember the wheelie video from a few weeks back the young man doing said wheelie has a setup similar to this. He designed and fabbed them up in his machine shop I believe.

how does that work...clutching and shifting?

If I'm not mistaken it's a hydrolic foot clutch.

Would take some getting use to do. Never could understand putting the clutch lever on the foot control. Like I said, would take me some time getting use to! It does look trick though...:2thumbs:

Almost bought an old Harley Hydra-glide years ago (wish I would have, now! :bang, with a "suicide clutch" and tank shifter.

That foot clutch & tank shifter seemed like way too much work and too much distraction at the time....still does!!

But..to each, his own! :2thumbs:

Yeah Mikie,
I was just at Gateway Bigdog, and saw the K-9 they did with this setup. They told me it was something they designed, and fabbed everything in house. Looks pretty nice on that K-9.
