Motorbike Question

There was a program on Discovery challenge called 'the great biker buildoff'
There was one guy who instead of putting in a normal break lever style clutch lever, he made it so when you twisted the left grip it depressed the clutch. Does anyone know who he was or where you can get this done. Googles comin up empty too!

Sounds like something that cold easily be retrofitted on by fitting an accelerator "upside-down" on the left-hand side instead of a clutch lever. After all, both the clutch and the accelerator are controlled by pulling cables. There's nothing to say that you couldn't use a lever as an accelerator too
Twould be **** scary though.

Didn't see the programme, sorry

Why would you want to do this?
If you did go ahead and try this kind of thing a gunnar gasser whirlpull throttle from a MX bike would give you a good chance of pulling in a heavy throttle.
Remember that most throttles are designed for pulling a light cable attached to a light carb slide. Clutch cables are a lot heavier construction for good reason.
