Default RE: Heel toe shifting is awesome!

I bet most people don't like heel shifter is because the original position, it sits too high, makes it really hard to heel shift. Once your lower it a few notches and learn it a couple of days, it works just fine. I still can't change my habit upshifting with my toe when I ride it like I stole it lol. It makes me wonder how people ride a bike with the right-handed shifter. [&:]

+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.

I'm on my third bike with heel toe shifter and use it often. As mentioned they need to be adjusted to suit riding style. I find it a lot easier to engage neutral when i heel it down from second at a stop light.

I like them and use them on both bikes. Thinking about adding the extended, slotted one to the Fatboy.
