I very serious doubt it will hold up for long.
I would check with a muffler shop to see if they would do it and how much it would cost.

 

would a shaft from a touring bike be able to be placed in a FLD? that would save all the welding and you can just mount the shifters like on the touring models.

 

More or less this set-up:


You could do some measurements at your e-glide set-up and check it against the switchback's shifter bracket?

 

YES, this is what we are discusssing here and what mrnone did to his FLD..
he used a different shaft but it does require welding to the lever

not sure if the whole touring setup would work as detailed above..

 

no the shaft is thicker and the splines land in bad spot

 

so even if you were to turn the shaft on a laithe it wont line up for the dyna ?

 

nope
will hit the boards also
and the splined touring arm on the backside is the wrong length
just added fxrp boards And heel toe shift on tammys fxr
wow what an improvement
always felt a little cramped on her bike (shes five foot two)
she put it best
feels like a grown up bike now
all three bikes have boards , heel toe, fairings and tour pak now

 

Has anyone seen these in real life? I ran across it searching for for a solution that I could use.

It looked like it had possibilities but I was worried that it may hang too low. (and yes it is $200, but if it worked...)

 

Or don't have access to a welder.

 

Am looking for a heel/toe shifter too. Searching the internet today I came along the site of eGlideGoodies (http://www.eglidegoodies.com/id173.html) and I think this is what you might be looking for.
According to Barnett (http://www.barnettharley.com/afterma...l#.UlvsXxb_2YQ) it should fit a Switchback too.
