BBBs02e40 | Jockey Shift or Foot Clutch & Hand Shift | Fabrication, Install & Test Ride | XVS650

A "how I did it" video more than a "how to" video but in this episode I fabricate, install and test ride my version of a jockey shift , suicide shift of using a foot clutch and hand shift behind the leg on my XVS650, Vstar 650, V Star 650, Dragstar 650 or V-Star 650 bobber chopper project.

**Yes I know there is a lot of hate/argument on what is suicide shift vs jockey shift etc. for me by definition suicide shift is with no front brake. My bike has and will always have a front brake. So im calling this jockey shift. If you are the hand shift police here trolling on this argument don't bother.

**No I don't know if its legal in your country, state or county, do your own research take your own risks. I will deal with the legality if and when I get pulled over.

**No its not a kit, no I don't know if one is available!!!!

**Jockey shift is not for beginners, please ride carefully. I am in no way responsible for any mechanical issues or crashes you may have if you attempt a jockey shift after watching this video. It is 100% your risk and responsibility.

*Motorcycle modifications can be dangerous
Im not a mechanic so please, complete these modifications at your own risk. Consult your mechanic if need be. I take no responsibility for changes made to your motorcycle and can not fix your motorcycle through the comments section.
