I know you addressed your question to Todd and I hope he is well on his way to recovery, but I thought of another option for your friend—how about an electro/hydraulic servo operator for the clutch controlled by a switch?Perhaps you are putting down some ideas for next builds while healing up Todd. Get well soon.
Question: I know a fellow who has lost most feeling and strenghth in left arm and hand do to Covid attacking nerves throughout his body(long hauler.) Would you consider it impossible to engineer an automatic transmission onto 8V big block motor? Man was born to ride like us and is thankful to be alive but damn, hes gotta be able to ride to smile again. He owns a 13 Stelvio.
