    I have a CTX700 DCT and an 02 Wing. I have no problem bouncing back and forth. Unless you habitually power shift, the lack of a clutch lever reminds your foot it doesn't need to do anything. I promise you that you'll reach for that nonexistent clutch lever more than once if you get one.

    It does have the shift buttons on the left grip at the bottom. Thumb down and index finger up. The only problem is the occasional downshift when you meant to honk. On the CTX horn button is above the turn signal.

    You get a foot shifter included in the cost of the manual transmission, just sayin.

    I would spend the money on some other accessory. I would want the DCT for the automatic shifting. That would be my whole purpose of having the feature.

    It's a nice option. I certainly wouldn't buy one from the onset. I'd wait to see how shifting with the handlebar buttons went first. But if I felt it would be more natural to use my foot, then it could be an option.

    Sure , riding in the automatic mode would predominate a lot of riding I'm sure, but when getting a groove on in some twisty roads, the ability to manually shift will have some appeal.

    The foot shifter is a pedal shifter, only controlled by your foot and not your finger it is all electric.
    That foot shifter connects by wire to the bike.
