Jockey shift w/ hand clutch on shift lever??? - Harley Forum

lakedrunk · #1 09-25-2009, 09:13 PM

Anyone know of a company that makes some sort of jockey shift lever that has a Hydraulic clutch on the hand lever? My brother has a jockey shift with the usual suicide clutch and I'm thinking of doing it a little different.

Thanks for any help. I'm sure I won't find anything that is exactly what I want but I'll figure out a way to make anything fit. I'm hoping there is a company that has many different styles to pick from and I'm just not smart enough to find it on google

I have seen handshifters with manual, cable activated clutches built into the handshifter, but do not remember seeing a juice clutch. Can't imagine they are tough to build using a stock handlebar with the stock hydraulic clutch set and master cylinder.

Hey Buzz! Good to hear from you, I've been away from all forums for awhile.

I was thinking of trying to make something myself but I know it wouldn't look right. I think the problem would be getting the master cylinder to sit level and the clutch lever facing straight up, while also looking not rigged together.

I've been giving this one some thought. First a disclaimer, I have neither the machine tools nor the expertise at running them, these are just some ideas I'm throwing out here. The easiest way to rig this up would be to put a cable type clutch perch and lever on your jockey shift and mount a master cylinder horizontally where you wish operated by the cable. This would involve fabricating a lever to actuate the master cylinder the outboard end made to receive the ferrule on the end of the cable. Unless you happen to find a cable the length you need you will have to have one custom made, Barnett and probably others can provide one.
Let us know how it works out. Ride safe and God bless, Sincerely: Shovelmike.
