Question Heel/toe shifter for Dyna forward controls??

I currently am running the Kuryakyn forward controls on my '07 Street Bob with heel stirrups. I was wondering if any one has fitted a heel/toe shifter with this set up? Have done a few searches but came up empty, is this a possibility to set up this configuration? or am I just dreaming?

Heel toe shifters work best with floorboards. I have one on my Road King and honestly in 25,000 Miles used it maybe one time. Once you're used to one type ridin' for me it's hard to switch.

Never cared for the H/T shifters, but my forwards made me consider going that route. I couldn't seem to find a lever placement that didn't have me removing my foot from the peg for either up/down shift. May also be the short length of the Narrow Band Billet pegs. I've come up with a mod that works for me; a Toe/Toe shift lever. The picture shows its current evolutionary step. I used a slice of 4" aluminum angle, and drilled all the holes in it so I could experiment with peg placement; I like to upshift just back of the base of my toes, but downshift with the pads of my toes. The finished product should look like a simple, chrome forked lever. Just an idea from "outside the box".
