I am spending the swedish winter building a rigid sportster (-02 1200cc motor). I wanna make it as clean as possible and i'm planning to put a jockey shift and foot clutch on it. To make that legal here in sweden i have to use a rocker clutch (not suicide). I've found this one but will it work with the wire on a sportster?? I guess it will take some mods, but is it even do-able??

My next idea is for the front brake.. i'm planning to put an internal throttle on the left side and lead the wire to a separate hydralic master cylinder (by the italian make "Kustom Tech) that will control the frontbrake. The master cyl is made for a lever but i figuered i might aswell control it with an internal throttle cable to get as clean look as possible but stil legal...

Anyone got any experience from either idea? What do you guys think.. will it work??
Thanks /jon

It's going to be pretty tricky to get that rocker clutch to work with your Sporty, but the front brake Idea has been done before with much success.
good luck and keep us up to date with how your build goes!
