RE: Suicide shifter on Deluxe?
My first bike was a 48 panhead w/ suicide shift. It looked cool and was fun for a while but got to a pain in the ***. Especially in traffic and city riding. I love vintage bikes but don't miss the suicide shifting.

Has anybody installed a suicide shifter on a softail? Does anyone know of any company who sells aftermarket suicide shifter

RE: Suicide shifter on Deluxe?
First, the terminology: It's a suicide clutch, and a hand shift, or jockey shift, or tank shift, or ....
My '87 FLST Sloptail has a LaBriola suicide clutch setup, and I made the shift lever to mount on the old horn bracket. The LaBriola kit comes with a jockey lever, but I don't care to have that much weight hangin' directly on the tranny.
