RE: Toe/Heel Shifter
Pops never used his on his Ultra Classic, but I used it everytime I was on his bike.
I picked-up the chrome shaft cover for him and now have the heel shifter on my RK. I likes it.
- What I was looking for was an easy way to convert to a 'race shift' (1-up, 4-down). I used to run my sportbikes with the reversed shift pattern and really liked it too.

my new streetglide SHOULD be here in about three weeks. First thing I'm gonna do: park it in the driveway and take a picture. [sm=Flahssssss.gif]Second thing I'm gonna do: remove the heel shifter. [sm=roll.gif]

RE: Toe/Heel Shifter
you guys that dont use the heel shifter...
try adjusting it down so that you only have to pivot/lift your heel a bit... i find that most are way too high.
ialso spent many years riding bikes w/o a heel shifter... but i love it.

Best thing since sliced bread... thought I would hate it, but 5 minutes later I loved it! Anything is possible if you want to do it yourself, just depends how bad you want it.

Hi Guys . New to the site, pretty cool. Just wondering if anyone knows if a toe/heel shifter is available for my 05 1200 Sportster. My local shop says no.

I used to run one on the old Flh but found that when I wastrying to shift too quick, it was pretty easy to bend things that are better off not being bent (things inside the tranny). After learning that rather expen$ive lesson, I took it off.
