I've been toying around with the idea of a suicide shifter for my 06 for a while now. I put it in the back of my mind because it seemed very confusing and I couldn't find a lot of info on it, nor did I see many people attempt it. I found a video on youtube where a guy did it with his stock handlebar end and clutch lever. Anyone know where I can find a short clutch cable like this guy has or an easy way to do a suicide shifter PERIOD? Any info, pictures or advice would be awesome! Here's the link to the bike I saw....

I think you might be able to buy a kit from LicksCycles

 

Type sportster Jockey Shift in to google

 

I made the suicide shift and jockey clutch set up for my bike. I only had it for 2 days, I couldn't get the hang of it and was tired of killing the bike all the time and pissing people off behind me at lights. Here is a picture I took from another guy to copy him. I cut the stock clutch line to do this.

 

you can get the clutch set up from walter at ragerbuilt choppers. It is the only setup I found that uses your existing shifter lever as your clutch. I made my shifter setup myself. The concept is awesome and the ride is exciting to say the least! I have had mine for about 8 months now and I will NEVER go back. This is a pic of my first shift handle. I have since made one from 1/2" tube stock and fabbed a bracket for it to pivot on. I will take a pic and post tonight.

Don't let anyone talk yo uout of it!

I think I found my next mod. As long as I can properly set up the existing shift pedal as a clutch.

 

I think LaBroila makes one too. I can get them for you!

Here is a link that may help (scroll toward the bottom) and a pic of my setup.

If you lower your clutch pedal a bit it makes taking off much easier.
