Last night I had the house all to myself... well my kid was there but shes the little devil on my shoulder sometimes. with the wife not home to tell me to stop screwing around with the bike, i decided to strip the clutch off and start making my jockey shift modification. i researched it before hand and haven't found any kind of a kit that will work on a gl500 transmission so i drew out how i think it should look/work. i'll get some 1/2" round bar after i mock it up with coat hanger wire and cut out a pedal out of 1/8" plates. i started having some misgivings about it this morning thinking about sitting at stop lights and having to keep my left foot on the clutch but then i realized, with no turn signals i have to use my left hand to signal, i will need my left hand to operate the horn under my seat as well as the light switch i'm relocating. this will at least be consistant. i'll post pictures later with what its going to look like.
