Design Configuration: Classic Curved Steel Linkage Control Arm for Foot-Actuated Clutch Setups
Up for sale is a genuine vintage factory Harley-Davidson 4-speed transmission external foot clutch release control arm lever takeoff. Removed directly from a classic Big Twin manual gearbox assembly, this is an authentic US-made structural forged steel component. It features a heavy-duty hexagonal/splined base mounting eyelet and a distinct curved body neck profile designed to snake cleanly around vintage primary housings.
Avoid cheap unbranded reproduction clutch arms that suffer from soft steel metrics or poor alignment sweeps, which can flex under heavy pressure plate spring loads and cause your clutch to drag or snap out of position. This factory original hardened steel lever provides the exact mechanical layout and rigid geometry required to maintain absolute cable or rod tension control. It is an essential asset for anyone building a period-correct Knucklehead, Panhead, or Shovelhead "suicide clutch" bobber, tank-shift custom chopper restoration, or repairing an early hand-shift powertrain layout.
šļø Fitment & Vehicle Compatibility:
Direct factory drop-in application for standard 4-speed manual transmission clutch release shafts running foot control footplates across the classic Big Twin generations:
-
Harley-Davidson Knucklehead / Panhead / Shovelhead: Fits 1936 to 1978 EL, FL, FLH Electra Glide platforms, and 1937ā1948 Big Twin Flathead (U, UL) configurations running a foot-operated clutch pedal rocker linkage.
š Condition Notes:
This is a pre-owned vintage factory takeoff motorcycle chassis component.
-
Structural Integrity: The forged steel lever arm body is completely solid, true, and free from any crash twists, impact bends, or hairline stress cracks.
-
Mounting Eyelets: The bottom mounting hole and internal positioning flats are clean, distinct, and free of stripped wallowing or round-out damage. The upper rod/cable notch profile is fully intact.
-
Cosmetics: The arm displays a rich seasoned patina with normal uniform road scuffs, cosmetic grease staining, and light surface storage oxidation (as clearly detailed in the product photos). It is fully ready to install as-is for a survivor bike build, or to be cleaned, sandblasted, and chrome-plated/powder-coated for a show restoration.
