Floorboard Kit On
I havent been active on here for a while but I was happy to find out there was a floor board kit. Just got them on today and have a couple questions.
-Anyone finding it is a bitch to get it into neutral now?
-Whats with the no heel shifter? Anyone found one that will work?
Besides those two things I love having boards again.

Did the FLD boards on mine. Not sure on heel/toe but yes having a miserable time with nuetral because I didnt switch the shift arm on the tranny. I remeber reading before that it was a different length and had different "leverage" ? But by the end of last season I was used to it and found nuetral easy. Driving me nuts right now.

Finding neutral is a little tricky but you'll get used to it soon enough. I think it's simply because of the long linkage removing some of the feel.

I too installed the floorboard kit and have found nuetral harder to find. But I also never replaced the tranny linkage arm which I think will make adifference when I do. Other than the neutral issue i love the boards.

Will swapping out to the longer lever make it easier to shift/find neutral? Or more importantly, can the lever be swapped out without removing the primary? I left the shorter lever in since i wasn't willing to sacrifice ride time on finding out.
