sandmans 81 xs bobber build

[sandman 315]

hey everyone, just joining up, got myself an 81 that started as stock, went to cafe style then to hard tail in the matter of a month lol. stock motor, tc bros weld on hard tail and raked, i picked up the rolling chassis off craigslist and moved my motor, front end, and rear set up over, everything went pretty smoothly, still need a new tail light/ plate assembly, and minor tweaking, tanks off now its leaking, seats in the process of getting finished .

How are you managing to change gear and pull the clutch in at the same time with the same hand?
