Question Auto/Button Shifters

Hey all! Just got a call from my brother. His MS is making it even harder to shift his bike. Tried to go for a ride this afternoon, and he said he could get past 3rd gear. Can you please tell me what companies make an auto shifter, or push button shifter for his 1999 Dyna?

And, better yet, does any one have, and use one?

Thx!!

Default Clutch

Hey all :-)

Was looking at this for a clutch option too. Does any one have experience using one of these. And if so, how is the shifting done once your going. Just power shift?

One from my riding group recently turned 70. Two years ago, he was in an accident on his Fat Bob which ended up in the loss of his left leg. He now has a prosthetic leg starting just below the knee.

Determined to ride again, he now has a Ultra Classic trike conversion with the Pingel electric shifter. He was quickly able to adapt to the use of the new shifter. I would be glad to hook you up with him. I am sure he could answer any non-technical questions you may have.
