Default Tank shifter

Hello all. New to the forum.
I own a '06' springer classic. Looking to install a tank shifter and foot clutch. Has anyone done this? And if so, is there a bolt on kit or is it a custom job?

Let me know if you have any questions....
the hardest part for me was deciding what to do with the old clutch handle and perch...

I have one too. LaBriola as well. I'm with Cheesecake,. Eventually I got rid of my clutch perch altogether and got a simple mirror clamp to take it's place.

Website did not show much. Guess I will hae to wait till Monday and give them a call. DR V-Twin's photo looks exactly like what I am looking for. Anyone got a link to a website other than what I googled?

have a complete set up for your bike. I was going to put in on my 05 classic springer. It's a heel toe clutch set up. I have the frame adapter and best thing is the tank shifter. I'll post pics tomorrow. It's a one off hand made to mimic the real 1940's shifter. Had the machinest use a knuck shifter as a guide. Has all mounting hardware. And like I said. It's one off. You'd be the only one with it. And it's for sale.

I sold the springer when I got my SG. Only reason it's not on.

I fabbed one up a couple of years ago for my '07 Deluxe. The only part that I bought was a reproduction shifter handle off of Ebay. Made a bushing out of a socket and a grade 8 bolt. Actually was not that hard to do.

Probably the most fun mod that I have ever done!
