ha. i've got a couple buddies with suicide shifters that i'd love to try out... but i'm not currently interested in converting mine.
but damn it's rad to see some of the dudes that will run their bikes with suicide shift at the drag strip on open nights!

I planned to pick the bike up late in the afternoon - so no-one was around. Apart from my mate who has been helping do the work - the guys in the garage over the road mad a few customers.
My biggest fear was doing something stupid and damaging the tank - cost me £500 to get done.
House of colour tint, metal flake and 10 coats of lacquer - so even a small knock was going to be expensive.
So get to the shop and the bike is outside, so thought do or die.
Put in the key, pressed the starter (relocated on the back of the solenoid - looks cool and a cheap mod). Put in the clutch and clunked it into gear.
Then the agonising wait to find the biting point seemed like it took for ages as the revs started to drop blipped the throttle and the bike lurched and stalled!
But that was the only time I have stalled it (so far). I took my spammers for ride and tweaked the lever angle and have found a sweet spot - able to hold it on the clutch for hill starts without to much problem.
Only downside is that the clutch works best when I am wearing my vans or converse but on a pair Of sturdy boots and the bit point changes.
Once moving is great really easy to do
Had a funny incident at the local bike meet, had my cargo shorts on started the bike sat on the seat went to put my foot on the clutch and my short leg caight the gear lever and knocked it into gear making it lurch forward and kill the engine - not bad in front of a 100 pr so rides all riding rice rockets!
