Heel Toe Shifter
Anybody have a heel / toe shifter AND forward controls. Had this on a Honda (with standard levers and floor boards) years ago and really enjoyed it. I guess it can be done - the mechanic at the dealer said Switchbacks come in this configuration, though they didn't have one in stock. A photo as well would be much appreciated.

You can take a inner shift rod arm off a Soft Tail pn33668-07 and grind the weld to remove the pin. Then do the same on the inner Switchback arm pn33789-90B and weld the longer spline shaft off the Soft Tail to the Switchback arm. The weld will be to the inside and not really show or you can rechrome if needed.

Looks like you're right. He may have misread the service manual. This looks more involved than I thought. I'm happy with the forward controls. I may just live with it the way it is.

14 Lowrider with forward controls and a heal toe shifter from M&M cycle. Works fine, but only comes in chrome, so still need to powder coat it black.

i made my own... first thing i did was get a shifter arm as well as a shifter lever from a touring bike, cut he spines off the arm. and weld that to the shifter lever
i am running boards on mine off the foward mounts so i needed the heel to clear the board so i had to add 1" to the lever, some round bar and some grinding helped this issue
all powder coated and installed, i did order a extended peg and put the stock on on the heel and the longer one on the toe
I LOVE THIS, no idea how i lived without it
