    Hi. 

    Looking forward to chatting to you all and meeting some like minded people for runs etc.

    I live in Belgrave.

    My first Harley. 1971 S/glide.

    74", Kick only,  juice drum rear, Suicide clutch / Jockey shift, since photos is running S&S B. 

    Purchased to use as a donor bike to build a early style chopper (Rigid frame, 'Cisco sporty tank, sissy bar, drum brake front etc etc)

    Enjoying riding her while collecting parts for chopper project.

    Welcome Shoveltrouble and leave sanity behind.

    Seaeagle,              As Springer_13 said, Foot clutch, gear change on the left straight out of the gearbox. Why suicide?. Remember we are talking Old School here, mid 60's, San Francisco, NO FRONT BRAKE!!! Imagine a stop light up a hill, left hand on the bars, right hand on the throttle, bike in gear, left foot on clutch, right foot on the brake. How the F*** do you stop yourself from falling over?. Thus suicide clutch. AAAAARRGH!!!
