XS650 DIY Foot Clutch (part one)

I wanna make the XS650 just a little more unmanageable so I am making a foot clutch for it.
maybe its called a suicide shifter, jockey shift, suicide clutch....who knows!
Walking through the fab of the first step....the part that goes in the case and sticks out!

going to be a cool build. i’m pretty much going to keep my xs2 stock but it’s nice to see folk doing mods on these xs650’s

Awesome work, stoked to see the end result

[@moonbats69420]

Have you watched Shadetree Surgeon's videos on his XS650 chopper build, particularly his foot clutch/hand shift episodes? (About 2 years ago)

[@moonbats69420]

I haven't watched it yet but lots of folks have told me I should!!

[@georgebanaszkiewicz5111]

@@moonbats69420 Not surprised. You share some similarities with his channel. Your bike was what first attracted me as I also had a chopped XS650 back in the mid seventies. That, and the fact I grew up in Fabreville.

I know..... It's a suicide clutch, (not a rocker clutch peddle) and Jocky shift...... there is no such thing as a suicide shifter.... (unless you shift while standing on your head as you ride)
