Default Electric Car Conversion Companies: Alternatives To Gas Powered Cars

How did you work the clutch? I'm not familiar with "old as dirt"
Harleys.


Foot operated clutch and a tank shifter. I never had a tank shifter, but
did ride a panhead with a jockey shift (hand shift behind the seat).


I suspected that, but didn't know that Harleys had done that in the past.

Oh you bet. Three speed on the tank and a rocker pedal clutch. I think
that's what a lot of folks used to call the "suicide clutch". Wasn't too bad
on the three wheeler and side car models, but the early two wheel (including
police) bikes had them too. Can't imagine trying to operate a three speed
hand shift, foot clutch motorcycle - with a conventional hand held
microphone Motorola police radio, during a chase. Keep a guy busier than a
one armed paper hanger.
