jockey shift poor mans way
by: chopper74

if you dont want to spend a tone of money what you can do is run the hand shifter that you want and take your clutch lever { if you are not using a fornt brake i prefer not to } and switch it to the right side turn your lever upside down remove the lever pin and snap ring and put them on top i did it and i love it . it will tke a little getting used to using your clutch lever and throttle on the same side . good luck

suicide /jockey shift
by: skruzluce

you do NOT have to mount a foot shift when going jockey style. u can simply mount a dirtbike or 4 wheeler clutch lever(less bulky than stock) to your shift arm making shifting possible one-handed. placement, i've found, is easiest when you use upper motormount as a pivot point for your lever. and mate the bottom of it to the existing linkage (allowing the linkage to be cut in half) this also allows for removal of stock shift levers and front shift arm.
questions anyone??

Jockey shift
by: Michael Durham

If you are interested in running a Jockey shift you will have to mount the clutch lever on the left foot control. It will have a bracket to hold the clutch cable and actuate the clutch by a foot lever.
