Default Got Jockey? Lets see 'em

Ok guys after hanging with Mark(story808) and thinking how cool his brass knuckle shifter looks, my home boy Jay(xjayx) talked me into doing a jockey shift....actually, more like bought it and gave me no choice. LOL
But I gotta say, I love it!, its fun as hell. 1st ride, I had the new Harley grin on my face the whole time.
I gotta say I had fun looking for a shifter that I liked.......So lets see your shifter set up if you got a Jockey

I got a Chrome KA-BAR Handle as mine

Made mine this past winter. Used an Exile cable routed under the bike, moved the controls forward 1" on homemade brackets to make room for the cable mounting bracket. Got a shift arm off Ebay, and cut it apart and re-welded to put it in a more comfortable spot. Just used an old skool bakelite shift **** for a splash o' color. Tons of fun to ride!

A little different style and the only pic I have as I took it off. Might just put it back on though.

m i k e as long as you have a foot clutch your in the club no matter where you put the shifter.

I dont know... I dont really like it... you should make it hand clutch again...
Na J/K Jojo its looking good... even though the bike is red, glad your still lovin it.
