Default Heel / toe shifter

I installed one on my Sportster and love it. I've been looking for one for my FXDI35 and can't seem to find one . Has anyone installed one on their Dyna. If so where did you make your purchase.

For those that have leg lift strength issues, the heel/toe shifter keeps riders in the wind.

I don't think I've ever seen that setup before. I have a heal toe shifter on my 06 Low Rider but it came with the footboard kit I put on. Wyatt Gatling kit, #27-0920

Tileman,
I have been looking for a nice heel/toe shifter for my bob for a while as well.
So far the only one I have found is by BMC.(https://www.bmcmc.com/collections/pa...el-toe-shifter)
I was wanting to try it out for my trip to Vegas and write a review on it, but, unfortunately, I don't have $200 to shell out on it. If you end up getting it, let me know how you like it.

As shared in a previous thread some time ago, I'm using this with good results:

VT 21-0681

If you have forwards this should bolt right on without issues, but if you have mids then you will have to do some "shaving" - see pics.

I adapted this very inxpensive Drag Specialties to my 2014 Breakout and its worked pretty slick for the past 3 years. It had a tendency to gradually loosen until I drilled / tapped the center of the mounting hole and inserted a set screw into the channel machined around the splined shaft.

O-Town, Thanks! Did you buy it in wrinkle black or did you paint it yourself. That is definitely what I have been looking for.

The VT 21-0681 only comes in chrome, so I buffed/scuffed it, then sprayed a couple coats of Black Wrinkle.
