VN900 Suicide Shifter - Finished & Test ridden

[@longdong3889]

It would be super trick to set it up with a different linkage and run the shifter just like the old tank shift bikes. Less chance of snapping off the shifter shaft if you ever have a accident. I have been modifying bikes for years with that as a primary concern. If I get loaded and wreck, I want the best chance of getting up and riding away after. It's happened a few times and I was lucky I could just wrap the road rash and still get home without a tow truck 👍

[@stevesyncox9893]

Why not just remove the foot part & leave the shaft joining like the stock?

[@chipotlaway8522]

Just watched all your videos on this and they’ve been a big help. Really want to do one for my shadow but no one makes a kit.

[@durbandungeon]

Thanks, much appreciated! Try having a go.

[@longdong3889]

TJ brutal customs makes a kit it's nice too

[@bryanmartin2271]

I'm going to leave my clutch lever where it is and fab a tank type shift on the right so you come off the throttle to shift like ol indian chiefs

[@rabbitbreed1]

Great looking bike. I'm trying to do the same to my M50 Suzuki, but there is no kit anywhere. gonna have to fabricate.

[@durbandungeon]

Thanks and good luck with your build. Fun to make and to ride

[@Dannyaudio69]

[@koreyhill8434]

[@durbandungeon]

Much appreciated Korey.

[@noeljohnson2442]

Would u by any chance sell the suicide shifter

[@durbandungeon]

I would consider it.

[@jerryking1434]

How long did you have it on three before you had transmission problems ...

[@durbandungeon]

Never had any transmission problems at all. In fact it was a pleasure to use.

[@kippnovak9833]

Couldn't find neutral at the end...lol

[@durbandungeon]

I solved the problem with adding foot clutch in the end.

[@kippnovak9833]

@@durbandungeon nice

[@corneilcorneil]

At least, make a paralel footclutch or extra handclutch, so you can steer with both hands. Still the most dangerous and useless mod you can do on a bike. All that lever comes directly on the axl and bearing. Imagen what force you put on the shifting system. I guess that this was just one day "fun"?

[@durbandungeon]

See the follow up video where I made a foot clutch for exactly the reasons you stated. Two hands are definitely required.

[@brunothebold3139]

Why?........

[@durbandungeon]

Because I can!

[@brunothebold3139]

Durban Dungeon no I mean good work dude,, but go the whole suicide foot clutch as well, but youron to a good idea,, if they could hide the clutch cable, or make internal wiring

[@durbandungeon]

@@brunothebold3139 I did end up making a foot operated clutch. It was a much safer option. I think it's on another video in that playlist.

[@brunothebold3139]

Durban Dungeon thanks mate,, I'll watch it live Ve from oz dude

[@ontherightside2647]

Do not do it, it is too dangerous.

[@durbandungeon]

Already did it, it wasn't. Thanks for caring.

[@sssssssssss5947]

THIS IS FAKE 😒

[@durbandungeon]

No, no it isn't.
