i am getting ready to convert my 2001 valk to an auto/centrifical clutch and i was wondering if anyone else has done this, and how it turned out.  i recently lost my left arm up to the elbow and would still like to ride my gurl. i have a prostetic arm and i did try to ride but did not feel safe. anyway, the clutch comes from a company called EFM it is an auto clutch.  send out your clutch basket and they modify it send it back, install and go.  you still have to shift the foot shifter at the proper rpm, and thats all there is to it. so, has anybody tried this?    thanks, chuck.

Just watched the video , looks like a quality product. You are a real inspiration to us all , I have often thought how I would deal with losing the ability to use my hands or feet . Arthritis or an injury will often end your riding days .Let us know how everything is progressing.

Wish I would have known about this when my mother in law sold her bike. She got bit by a pit bull and ended up losing about 75 % of the strength in her left hand. She could no longer pull in the clutch. This would have been a great option for her.
