Default Heel Toe Shifter

Had this in the tool box for 4 years now, recently had some things PC so threw this in (it was chrome-they didn't have black when I bought it).

I think it's from V-Twin Manufacturing. The rubber ***** are from Amazon and I over reefed them a bit which mangled them a little; small potatoes, I ain't got time to grieve for that.

Mounted it up this morning and just tested it, it takes some getting used to. I would prefer the back end to be about a 1/2" longer, I think the leverage would suit me better.

I like the ole' heel/toe on past dressers and figured what the hell, give it a try. I may turn it clockwise a notch, wouldn't be surprised if I don't keep it, it's all about sheets and greens anyway.

Cheers

I love mine on my FXDWG, it's an original Heelhammer or at least that's what it was presented as when I bought it used. It did take a couple of days to get used to, now I don't think I could go back. For some odd reason once in a while I'll downshift by accident when I mean to upshift, not sure why my brain says heal and my foot decides toes.

Been using the same V-Twin Manufacturing heel toe shifter for 5 years now. No issues; not planning on changing it.

I get it on floorboards...but with pegs, if you use the heel shift, you will never get that cool mark on the toe of your boots that proves you are a rider and not just a yuppie.

Understood, but sometimes you just have to take extra care not to scuff up your patent leather wingtips when scooting on over to the more formal occasions! Ha!

I guess my philosophy is don't waste valuable brain cells worrying what people think about you, unless that's what one wants to worry about.

What's that ya say, another shameless photo, of course, happy to oblige
