Sounds like you have already been drinking. Need some bail money? No seriously. It is different but that's anything new. People who currently ride with it say it only takes a few miles to get the hang of it. They have blogged on the webpage.

Thanks for the advise. I'll check out that product. The point is to make it easier, not more difficult. It's basically like swinging the heel shifter around and pushing down instead of lifting up. Thanks though!

so....you 'shift down' to shift "UP"?
I guess...if I am in 5th gear (2004 model) and I forget and try to shift into a non-
existant 6th gear.....I would be in 1st?
I don't know about downshifting to up shift. It may add chrome.....and for $300+....
I hope to do something more coherant.

Thank for the reply. This is my first time on the forum. Some of my friends saw people talking about my product so I thought I'd check it out. Pretty cool. Did you check out the webpage? www.newwayshifter.com I ride an ultra classic and invented it about 18mos. ago. We have about 10 dealers carrying it and have had a few sold ot rallies. Just curious, what don't you like about it?

I learned how to drive an 18 wheller that had two shifting sticks and I used to get lost doing that. So I say I will keep what I have and know how to use. But P.T. Barnum said there was one born every minute.

I hate shifting up because of nerve damage in my left leg. Therefore I like the heel shifter but it limits the use of the footboard. I like the looks of it. I hope you sell a ton of them and lower the production and selling price. Good luck.
