DUCMILLE said:Okay, so I've got the new parts/accessories catalog for 2007 and I see this Electronic Shifter for the 1098.
It's only $700, or thereabouts, and I've got friends that have them on their bikes.
Any thoughts?

Can you clutchless shift without it by just backing out of the throttle for a sec? Is that bad for the bike?
fairplayinc said:So let me get this straight...
When I launch and wrap to the redline, if I back off for a split-sec and shift (which goes in effortlessly, no clanking or anything), and do the same thing in second gear, then third gear, am I damaging anything?
Its a matter of being able to hold on to both grips fully. Call me a pu$$y, call me inexperienced, I like to go fast (as safe as possible) and feel better with both hands firmly on the grips.

I understand that and I dont "race" the bike through the gears very often. Thanks for all the input guys. Its all valued highly.mrinflux said:There's no good reason to shift without the clutch unless you're racing.
