Thanks all. Love the toe-heel shifter. Took me just a few miles to get used to it. And neutral is just popping in with a touch of the toe.
Dealer put 20w50 in crankcase for break in. synthetis in the other holes. will go to all syn at 1,000. How's the harley syn sound?

I use both, sometime I use just the toe shifter and other times I use the heel with the toe to start out with . [sm=confused06.gif]

I'm putting floorboards on a FXSTS pretty soon one lever is missing so I need to buy one of the shift levers.

For a size fifteen boot should I get the levers that are about 2" longer than stock?
If anyone here has put the longer levers on, did it make any noticable difference?

I've had one on my last two bikes and just use it like a guard to keep my shoe off the motor.
