just adjusted mine down yesterday after reading this thread took 5 minutes and I think I will use it now, factory setting made me lift my foot off the floorboard, never thought to adjust it.
Thanks for the heads up Jimmers

Rode with it for a few weeks when i got my fatboy, and took it off soon afterl. too many **** my pants moments from trying to get both feet down at a light only to realize my jeans got caught on the rear shifter! BTW, any links to the caps for the shifter shaft? Didnt know they made it.
&nbsp\\;
Not the best pic, but the cap cleans everything up nicely, and is a HD part BTW:

First time I rode with heel shifter, it took about 30 seconds to get used to it.&nbsp\\; Now I'd never get rid of it.&nbsp\\; I've never caught anything on it. I'm not sure how I could.&nbsp\\;

Mine is still on but I've been thinking of&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;taking it off&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;since I don't use it and when I shift with the toe shifter, the heel shifter comes down on the side of&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;the heel of my boot and makes it hard to shift.

+1 for the heel/toe shifter. Love mine. Been meaning to lower the rear shifter to see if I can get it positioned better, just havn't done it yet.

The only reason mine is still on is that I don't have the cap for the end of the shaft yet...

Learned how to ride using the heel to shift. Started to just use the tow this year. Thinking about just taking the heel off.
