Default help/ assistance.

Happy Thursday
I use my toe/heal shifter all the time. My newest pair of boots barely fits in between the toe-heal. I want to find the heal shifter in the same style as stock but about an inch longer.

Recommendations?

and...
Is there a proven way to take off the bezel glass to a speedometer?
If not, then I think I will have to put on some auto glass tint to lessen the glare....

Why not just loosen the shift lever you want to move, adjust it for your comfort, and tighten it back down?

Get the extended shift lever (HD, Kuryakyn, Ebay, etc.). Install it for the heel shifter. Problem solved!

I think he's saying his feet are too long to fit between the toe and heel pegs. not under. I had that problem and in extended heel shifter solved it.

Ya, I get that, just thought if he lifted the front enough it would essentially give him more forward movement. Its so simple that he probably already tries it though so point taken.

I didn't even think about that. I guess cause I'm too damn lazy to want to lift my toe that high to downshift. It does make sense though.

That's one of the things I like about you....you're always thinkin.
