Here is one on a CCW Heist which has the same type engine as the DF. The clutch lever is moved to the jockey shift.

started one on my springer, but the springer was so springy that it felt outright unsafe taking my hand away from the grip.
Anyway, our forward controls make adopting the jock shift relatively simple.

I wonder if it would be possible to put a shock on the springer like the old HD's.

Jockey shifts and suicide clutches went away for that reason.

I really like the shift mounted clutch lever on that CCW...something to think about. Axa- did you find akit somewhere or were you working from scratch? Also,being in NY myself,did you have any real issue with the DMV?
