Rode with Jockey shift on a 48 Panhead custom for some years. Loved it. Only thing is if you stop at lights and leave gear in then you need to keep left foot on clutch. And if you have a pillion that does not sit still you can find your self needing to put l/h foot down to stay up, with a little luck the lights have just turned green. If not....
Re heel shift. The best one I ever had was on a Royal Enfield. I could with one kick from the heel go down from 4th to neutral (or even 1'st if I wanted) No need to, as with other bikes, down shift through the gears!
My next build a 51 panhead will have a jockey shift and foot clutch but will use a baker n-1 shift drum which has neutral at the btm then 1-2-3-4 so coast up to stop and you will be in neutral and spyda stop petting things it will only get you into trouble.
