Jockey Shifters & Foot Clutches

Ride Connected: Jockey Shifters & Foot Clutches

There is no purer connection to your machine than banging gears with a jockey shifter. Paired with a foot clutch, this setup strips your handlebars of clutter and delivers a raw, engaging, and truly old-school riding experience. It’s a bold statement for any custom build. At Lowbrow Customs, we provide the bulletproof kits and components you need to make the switch, turning your modern ride into a timeless classic.

Mastering the Jockey Shift: What Real Riders Need to Know

Switching to a suicide shifter setup is a rite of passage, but it’s crucial to know what you’re getting into.

• The "Suicide" Name Isn't a Joke: This setup is called a suicide clutch for a reason. To shift, you have to take a hand off the bars, and stopping on a hill requires you to use one foot for the brake and the other for the clutch, leaving no foot to steady the bike. It demands skill and your full attention, but the payoff is an unmatched mechanical feel.
• Fitment is Everything: These setups are most common on Harley-Davidson motorcycles. We have proven solutions for 4-speed Big Twins and reliable kits to install a foot clutch on a Sportster. Knowing your transmission and frame style is the first step to a successful conversion.
• Rocker vs. Pedal: Not all foot clutches are the same. A true "suicide" pedal must be held down to stay disengaged. A "rocker" style clutch can be clicked into place, freeing your foot. Most modern suicide clutch kits use a rocker design for better usability.
• The Look and The Feel: Beyond the challenge, the main goal is a clean, stripped-down aesthetic. If you love the look but want to keep your hand clutch, a jockey shifter with a hand clutch kit gives you the shifter position while retaining your stock clutch operation.
