not really, unless you can work out some sort of hand lever to shift the gears. Otherwise, your looking at expensive electronic systems
TBH, it may be best just to stay of the bike until you are healed. The lack of machine control and concentrating on another method of changing gear would make you prone to more accidents ![]() |

Thumb lever for rear brake and then you need to make a linkage to run under the bike for a RHS change lever, brackets modified to suit natch. Did one years ago for a mate with no left leg.

been there, looked into the whole thing, through need, basically you'll need either an air shifter or solonoid shifter, I was looking to pair it up with an ignition interupt as well, but standard clutch would do, kliktronic were the one's I was seriously contenplating, but not cheap.
HTH Cheers Mark.

I was thinking something along the lines of a rod to the end of the lever, run up the side of the frame to a pivot mounted somewhere near the knee, and a right angled bend to a hand change somewhere up by the tank.

Following up on Richies point - isn't this accident related?
Hire bike (Mana) or super scooter until the leg works enough to work the shifter perhaps ![]() |
