Default 1979 FXS shift lever

Anyone know where to find a heal toe shift lever for an 1979 FXS? I'm about to try making one. Since I don't have a left ankle, it would be a great help.

I guess I didnt know the knurled shaft was any different
sny one piece heel toe, for that size shaft should work fine
not enough shaft length for the double

Yes, the shaft size was different on one I ordered a while back. It also extends above the foot peg a bit too.

Try V-Twins or Paughco maybe, Teds would be a good bet.
