Done away with on both bikes tha have had it. Just not for me. Pulled em off, raised the toe enough to clear my boot and added the chrome spacer. Only fall back I see I've had is I'm wearing thorugh that spot on my upper leather on the toe of the boot more often lol.

I love heel/toe shifting, I found toe upshifting weird on floorboard, just me. If you have big feet, that's another story.
Pull the heel shifter lever off and move it a notch, it sits kind of high from the factory.

 

Mine came off within a month of getting my bike. I gave it a chance, but never felt comfortable with it. Last summer, I installed a Kuryakyn extended shifter and love it. IMO, if you like it, keep it, if not, get rid of it. It's called personal preference.

 

Just get rid of it, save it as an extra toe shift if you ever need one!!!

 

I took mine off after a year....tried to use it, but couldn't ...it was just in the way.

 

Apparently not a Harley big twin rider or you would probably like the heel toe shifter. What made you move up to a real bike?

 

Hey Big G, thanks for the very thoughtful & constructive input

 

I'm thinking about welding a long rod to each end of mine where the pegs are attached coming up at about a 45 degree angle and meeting up by my head. It will look like a triangle when viewed from the left side of the bike. At the apex I will then put a foot peg that will be perpendicular to the two rods I welded and well be pointing towards the right side of the bike.

I can use my teeth to grab the peg and by pushing forward I can downshift and by pulling my head back I can upshift. Not to mention it will look really cool. I will probably have to lean forward a bit to do it but that's OK cause it's good to stretch while riding anyway.

I'm so smart!!!

 

ditto on the foot stop and spare. i lowered mine to the point when i could use if i wanted but keeps my foot from sliding off.

I didn't think I'd like it either but use it all the time. Never use my toe to shift up. Don't think I'll ever have it any other way now.
