Foot clutch and tank shifter

[Bruce]

Thinking about putting a foot clutch and left side tank shift lever on my 10 tri-glide ultra. Anyone done this and have any recommendations ? I really enjoyed this setup on my 52 and think it would look sharp on the trike.
Thanks in advance for your input.:beerchug:

I also have been thinking about that, my biggest problem is how to attach the shift bracket to the tank with out welding it. Yes that would awsome.

Sources for Foot clutch and tank shifter parts

I have long ago decided that when I get to make myself another trike, I'm going all out and make it "vintage" -- and of course that means hand shifting. After many hours of searching the web, here's my complete list of useful parts. Among them are several choices for shift lever installation that DO NOT require any kind of tank mounting (both in the traditional forward position and the "suicide" aft position). There are any number of parts from these various sources that you can mix & match to get what you want (and being clever, these parts can be used on non-Harley's as well!). Enjoy:

If you do it, I'd like some good close ups (as the others might want as well!) Do us proud -- since you get to do it first!
