jockey shift for 6 speed

[HotRodShovel]

Not sure but thinking , maybe....but all I see are shifts for 4 speed. Any shift arms designed to be attached to a 6 speed, 5 might even work, same arm  think.

Could probably fabricate one.

Ideas?

Disregard, found some..any experience with these kits?

looks like you're gonna be the beta tester John.

Sitting here with my coffee wondering why one for a 4 speed wouldn't work for 5 or 6? 

edit to add.....    but like I said maybe I haven't had enough coffee yet.

Years ago I got one from Fab Kevin. The 5 and 6 speed would both use the same one. The foot clutch set up would be different though. You'd have to get a retro kit from V-Twin or fab one. The foot clutch on mine is a V-twin part and came with the cable and adapter to install on a Softail. It worked well with the 4 speed I have, just needed to get the rod I've had suicide clutches before, but the stock type foot clutch (that stays where you put it) is much better. No need to find neutral every time you stop. 
On a side note..... I love my tank shifter! It's the same type of set up for softail with a smooth shifter gate for a ratcheting tranny shifter. It's the best thing I've ever done for my arthritis. No more holding a clutch, the bike holds it for me.

Hey Mark, the 4 speed arm is round at the bottom to fit the ratchet top, the 5/6 speed bottom is more of a straight piece of stock that attaches to the shift lever on the trans. Other than that they are the same.

Easy, I think the clutch would be easy enough to configure. Yes, IF I did this I would have to decide between a suicide clutch and an OEM type. Finding neutral should not be a big problem as I have a neutral light on the dash, but I know what you mean about locking the clutch open. Takes all the guess work out and both feet are there when you need them.

Just tossing around an idea. I don't know what I would do with my left control switches.

If you are still using the stock type switch housings where the clutch lever perch is built in, just shave it off like I did. If you have chrome, well it's gonna get messed up. It'll have to be rechromed as I don't know of anyone over the years who made a clean switch housing. My controls are chromed and I just chopped it off, then polished it up to a mirror shine and installed it. Gotta look really close to see it don't match just right.
My 3.5 tanks are for tank shift, but you can buy a 5 gallon tank and shifter set up.
I'll take some detailed pics later if you want.
BTW riding with a tank shifter and footclutch, comes really natural if you can drive a stick shift truck. Only change you'll really have to make is getting used to riding with only one hand on the bars a lot. Not a big deal though, I've been doing it for a very long time.

Yeah Easy, send me some pics. True it should be second nature except shifting with the left hand rather than the right but I grew up with manual cars/trucks.
Fer sure send me some pics.

Deye76, thanks man...nice stuff.

OK here's a few older pics of it. I'll go out and take a few when the (forgive me) snow melts in an hour or two.

Nice work Easy..thanks for taking the time to shoot and load some pics.  I don't know if I want to do this for function or just because I can't keep my hands off it. I get almost as much joy from wrenching it as I do riding it. And thats a good thing or I'd be riding a twincam.
