Default Heel Shifter

The shifter arm will fit but the spacer is different. I had them add the heel shifter on my 2020 FLHR and couldn’t go without it!

enjoy the new Steed!

Most people that don't like/use the heel shifter is because they never learned how to properly use it.

Perhaps.
I have ridden plenty of bikes with it, and learned to hate it just fine after properly using it.
