pull clutch in with left hand...reach through w right hand and bump to 1st... let out clutch... using left hand shift to 2nd "clutchless" (timing is important...but I've been doing it so long its smooth)... repeat through gears... need to stop? pull clutch w left hand and reach thru w right hand and bump shifter down to 1st... stop and repeat. its much easier than it sounds.

I've been watching the progress of this project and I like it. The only thing that has to go is the bright yellow on the coils and the wires. When I look at the bike it's like I'm being poked in the eyes with a stick. Maybe spray the coils flat black and either shrink wrap the wires or wind some black electrician's tape around them.

the bike has a hotrod theme to it... notice the mag wheel spinner for a gas cap, the header wrap, the dice shifter, the velocity stacks with the insides painted red, the red wheels and the blue dot tail light... the yellow accel coils and wires continue this theme.

Don't forget the bicycle pedal. That's a nice touch!:P
