It might work? The problem that might occur is that the clutch lever and spring might be strong enough to over come the detents built into the Grip Shifter. You also might want to consider using a front shifter rather than a rear. They have more positions/clicks that the rears.

The stock setup and it won't work. I use a 3 speed thumb shifer for my clutch and works ok.
