You know sometimes things can seem SO simple that you must be missing something. Things can never be simple. They are always complicated. If you think it's simple then there is a factor that is missing.
And that's where I stand.
I'd like to have a suicide clutch and a jockey shifter. For the jockey shift I was picturing taking the shifter lever, cutting the peg off, turning it vertical (or at 140 degrees..Depends on the angles), drilling holes, attaching a random ½ inch (diameter) rod I have. Sure I'd have to bend it a bit to get the angles right but...that seems to be it. Just throw a die on the top and put whatever you want on it.
For the suicide clutch I thought about a bracket bolted in the stock control location. Run the cable toward the back of the case and underneath. Run it through the bracket giving you the stability you need to actuate and on to the forward controls.
It can't be that simple. Help me out guys. What am I missing? Is this even possible?
