It Can be done with a bit of imagination. Im currently working on a hard tail savage project with a couple of unique parts, one of them being a right side jockey shift. I started a couple of threads on here that required some out of the box thinking and didn't receive much positive feedback. In the end it's your bike, build it the way you want it, and enjoy the ride. Check out chopcult.com. for your custom needs

This company will make a kit for your bike complete with correct length clutch cable. I've looked into this since I had jockey shift on my triumph bobber and rode that way for so long traditional clutch and foot shift for me seems odd. Kit runs about 350-400 and comes with everything bolt up and go. Takes a bit of getting use to but once you've got it, it's second nature riding and shifting.

A 1942 Indian Army Chief. Hard tail of course with a springer front end. Absolutely horrible. Probably worth a lot of money now.
