If you’d prefer to use a handlebar-mounted clutch lever, then down below where the old clutch mechanism used to reside, you’ll find a motorcycle foot shifter assembly. The foot shifter was first offered in 1952. The picture above shows a standard stock factory shifter installation on the frame. There’s not much to these units, so no detailed installation instructions are really needed; however, most manufacturers provide an exploded parts diagram that could be helpful for the clutch lever installation.

Custom made controls mount and function almost identically but look prettier and cost a lot more. I’ve only got two of the mounting bolts in the backing plate because this was a quick setup just for the Pic. Most major components in shifter kits, including the motorcycle foot shifter, are pretty heavy duty, but the shift linkage and connectors are usually junk.
