I put on long floor boards and now the the stock shift lever feels too short - doesn't allow my foot to use the whole floor board.

I cannot find a quality extended shift heal/toe lever that is moves the back peg back and keeps the front one where it is. i can buy an extended lever for the back, but it doesn't match the front lever and fits the spacing needed with an unmatched front lever.

Surely others have found a good solution to give yourself extra space on long floor boards. What solutions have you found?

Thanks.

 

Softbrake offers quite a few shifter styles in lengths up to 2.5" over stock in 1/2" increments. Maybe you could measure the lengths you need front and back and then give them a call. Super nice and honest people.

 

My buddy has a set that resembles the oem style. I think they're kuryakyn. I have bigger boards too but went with matching extended heal and toe levers from Harley. I love them. Doesn't help you though I know

 

I have an extended rear shift lever from Walters Workshop (Google them). It is the same style as the stock shift lever, just a bit thicker. Unless you look real close, you can't notice the difference. I wanted a longer rear lever as I found it annoying to keep banging the lever with my boot as I placed my foot in position on the board. It extends past the board and I have it adjusted low so I just slide my heel rearward off the board to step the shift. Plenty of room now. Works for me!

 

Check out these on eBay. They look just like the stock shifter, are great quality and great price. The only difference is the set screw is not exactly the same. Perfect fit though.

+1 for Softbrake...... I bought a new brake pedal from them that goes further ahead as well as away from the bike about 3/4 of an inch. Doesn't sound like much but it sure is a lot more comfortable. Good guy too.... knows a lot about his products.

 

The one off of ebay works for me. Got a new chrome allen bolt from local hardware store and all is well. Lots more room.

 

I commented earlier in the post but forgot to include.... Best solution, get rid of the heel shifter. Personally I got rid of mine because I never used it. Moved the boards forward and got an extended front shifter so I could strech my legs. Using the rear shifter was awkward and uncomfortable.

 

I have them both front and rear. Allows me to have the full floorboard and use just my toe or heel with a small slide to the front ot back.

Ride safe!

 

Thanks for the heads-up on Softbrake. They are great and the owner is very helpful.
