Angled Heel shifter
At a recent rally I saw a Heritage with a heel shifter that was angled down at the rear allowing for less of lift of the foot to upshift. Has anyone seen these and/or know where I can get one.
Thanks

I've never seen one but I sure can understand where you're coming from. After a days shifting with the heel my left hip starts nagging me bigtime to stop shifting.
My problem is after adjusting the shifters I can't upshift easily with the toe anymore so I'm dependent on the heel shifter. I would like to have the choice of going heel or toe.
The stock positions when I bought the bike where geared for toe only. I've readjusted everything and now it's heel only.
There must be a way of making it BOTH!

Plane- The one I saw was perfect. It was extended length and the peg basically curved off the floorboard so nothing hit the board and looked like it took only a minimal foot lift. Probably custom fabbed; I have not seen anything like it since.

Was this it?
Cool but too much hardware under the foot board.

Nope. That's not it. I saw that site before and it won't work with my setup. I really think this was custom because I have not been able to find anything like it anywhere . I'll probably pick up an extended length shifter and try something custom from there.

Here's another. Extended shifter which they say extends the peg off the back of the board

Here's what the extended shift levers look like. Keep in mind mine is a special setup-boards and heel/shift on a Dyna. This shift lever will actually move the peg further back on the softail. Problem with mine was at the lowest comfortable setting, the peg was hitting the board= no shift

I know what you mean. I adjusted mine to a great position, took off out of the drive way and couldn't shift... bottomed out on the board. The extended shift might solve my problem. Thanks for starting this thread. Opended a new possibility for me.
