LOL Yeah.. that is a Blackline.. or whatever is left of it... :-) ..... I am very used to the fender-less ride... and you are right about raining.. it sucks to ride in the rain..

Riding position is WAY better.. specially for me since I am a little punk *** at 5'6'' ... also.. since I ride with inverted handlebars it also allows me for better control of a bike.. similar to riding a Sports bike..

Man!.. the wait must be killing you.. I am patiently waiting to see your mid controls set up.. :-)

BTW.. did you see my new clean handlebars??.. :-)

I made a foot clutch where the gear shifter used to be.. please look at the photos posted at the top of the post.

you guys are brave, can't even think of wanting to bend over like that to ride a bike.

 

Joebotics, I love your mods and that you always post up pics here on the forum. That's a real bobber you've built, very cool indeed.

I gotta say you're a braver man than I riding in Beach traffic with a suicide clutch!! lol At least we don't have any hills around here to contend with.

Since you have the mid controls, have you considered using a rocker style clutch like the old bikes had with the over center spring? Seems a bit more civilized... which may not be what you're going for... :-)

 

Hey Joe_G!!! .. thanks for the nice comments.. :-)

I installed the Rekluse Centriifugal Auto Clutch.. really cool technology... and it simplifies the foot clutch operation.. riding with foot clutch / hand operated shifter is definitely suicidal in South Florida!!. LOL!!!

I have never used a rocker style foot clutch.. I know what it does.. but with the centrifugal clutch I think I have a nice setup.. Rekluse did a great job with the new design..

Are you going to the Toy Run?

 

Ahh centrifugal clutch, similar to what we had on the Honda Trail 70's? That would be awesome indeed, so I'm guessing its centrifugal when stopping, but for shifting you use the foot clutch?

That would be a life saver. You should post that in the other dude's thread who's riding around in Colorado with a suicide clutch.... it's called that for a reason....!

I will go to the toy run but not the run itself, I went a couple of years ago and it was hot as hades putting along at walking speed on 595. I do like the big event so I'll go there.

I go to Cafe 27 most Sunday afternoons, always a big bike show. I'd love to check out your bike in person so if you feel like heading out there let me know.

p.s. did you ever ride a Trail 70? If so did you figure out that you could push the gearshift down when in first and it'd give you neutral so you could do a nice wheelie when you let the shifter up? lol
