Have Motion Pro or Barnett make you a cable to size to run from the clutch to the foot lever, add routing along the lower of the frame. Pretty easy. Your going to have to do some work, it is not bolt of but in the scheme of modifying a bike it is about the simplest thing to do. It amounts to having someone make a cable and routing it. That's it, brand of controls males zero difference, you can do it with stock controls. Process is the same.
The jockey shift is just a matter of welding a rod to the clutch pinch bolt assembly where you cut off the foot lever.
For the foot clutch part another option is to run a mechanical linkage rather than a cable, it will work better. That will require some fab type work.
I want to do it but I suspect starting from a stop with a foot clutch is a pain. Not having electric start makes it hard. I can imagine stalling it in an intersection and not being able to kick it over. I may still do it for the pure awesomeness of it.
Good luck!

What about a shift arm with the clutch control on the arm? That way you don't even need your feet.

I've got my heart set on this I think it realy sets off the look of a hard tail might be a bitch to learn at first but I don't care

It's pretty easy to learn, and really fun ripping through the gears, too.

The title of the post says it all : " jockey shift " ? WHY ?

I made my own using the "low buck" version of the modded worm gear. Just weld on an extension nut with the same groove as the worm gear and put a spanner on it. Rode this thing to the mountains of norway and back to south of sweden. Around 2500km in a week. Not a problem yet. And it's totally worth it!
Anyone know how I can reach Irish_Prick? Seems like he hasn't been on this forum in a couple years. Looking to modify my clutch worm to accommodate a foot clutch. Does he have a website showing what is the end product to his services?
Cdubb, do a forum search on "foot clutch".
Lotsa info...

I make and sell a foot clutch set up or I can walk you through modding and making your own. It’s not difficult to do.
