Need Some ideas and Help

05 Aug 2009 09:47

Ok so i got a real good start on my 81 kz 440 bobber, and am entering it in a car and bike show in a couple weeks called the greaseorama. Its an old rat rod style show. So what i need is some ideas to make this thing more rat rod style. I also want to do a jockey shift on this thing, but either convert to a foot clutch or the clutch on the jockey handle. I have seen a couple on here but cant get anyone to email me back. If anyone has any ideas or could help me, that would be really great thanks. Oh and here is a couple pics of the bike now. Thanks

No i did not do the tank i have a buddy who did that last year. But I am getting ready to have him strip it down and put some other version of R.F on there for a newer look.

Ya i have the idea on how to do it just not exactly sure what to use or how to make it?

Has anyone done a foot clutch on one of these things. I really want to do one that way i can get away from the clutch lever on my jockey shift. Any help would be great thanks.

the pic i posted on the sporty shows the ease of installing a foot clutch.just build a little stand off to capture the end of the cable and shorten a cable to fit,basic go kart stuff.
