Great looking bikes! Give me the Sport or the Chopper and I'd be happy, except for missing the fun of changing gears...

I seem to recall seeing on TV a clutchless drive system for American V-twin-based bikes. I can't remember if it's a custom transmission or a custom primary belt mechanism that can be added to any American V-twin bike.

i think its a custom clutch that uses weights to clamp. so when the bike slows/stops the weights move and the clutch disengages, clutch only needed for neeutral to first shifts

no shifting = no fun
(for me anyway)
I need a clutch and a shifter.

Great for lady riders, beginners, and those folks that may have suffered an injury & can't shift any more.
