    I have a 1989 ultra Classic that I converted to a trike using a DFT trike kit, problem is I have authoritis in my hands and its hard for me to us the clutch so I was thinking about a suicide clutch and jockey shift setup. I would like to build it myself but I would like to know more about it before I screw up to much. Any ideas.
    Thanks

    No I haven't tried the soft clutch I was just thinking the suicide set up would be really cool.

    I had the exact same idea to put a foot clutch on a Sportster trike for my wife, who has the same issues with her hands. I found this... It'll probably work for ya'...
