Maybe I'm missing something. If you run boards adjust the lever low enough to slip your boot under for easy up shifts. With the heel toe setup don't you still have to lift your foot up to down shift using the front lever?

Doesn't seem like it adds much to me. Less room to move your foot around too.

 

Lifting up on my lever when wearing flip-flops or riding barefoot hurts my toes.......................JK

 

Kinda my thought also. I took mine off because my big fat feet kept hitting it when putting my foot on the board. Didn't like having to lift my heel and sliding foot back to shift.

But then, that's just me...

 

It keeps the top of your boots purdy.

 

There's a Heel/Toe shifter for Dynas?

 

I liked the hell out of it on my RK and UC, easy to just stomp down with your heel to shift.

 

Have always taken the heel shifter off every bike I've owned that had one. IMO they are a dumb idea.

 

My first two bikes didn't have the heel to toe shifter, and I always wanted one. When I bought my fatboy, it had one. Within 2-3 weeks I took it off, couldn't stand it. I couldn't move my left foot any because it was "lodged" between the two shifter pegs, and I found it more difficult to downshift with my heel than toes.

Oldenuf - You can buy aftermarket model shifters and floorboards for dynas and any other bike.

Some of my friends swear by them, and would never take them off, so maybe it's just me. Also drove from 1986-2013 without one, so I guess I'm used to not having a heel peg on the shifter.

 

Heel/Toe shifter = comfort for me and I prefer stomping down with my heel rather than lifting up with my toe. None of my current bikes have it, but I sure enjoyed when I did. I haven't found a floor board set up that would not reduce my lean angle, so I choose to live without for now.

 

i love the one i built for my bike, besides when jamming on it i can get through the gear set way faster stomping down vs pulling up
