Took mine off a couple days after it came home from the dealership. Just couldn't get used to having to lift my whole leg to shift.

I like the heel shifter, it takes a bit of getting used to. I ride to work, and wear nice shoes at work. I trashed the toe of one pair of shoes, I then started using the heel shifter. I actually use it all the time now.

I hated it at first. Then i thought, you know what? Give it some time and if really hate it, I will take it off. After a while I started to really like it.

When I got the heal shifter... I told myself I would give it a month try-out.
It didn't take that long before it became 'second nature'.

I use it all the time now....I like it.

heel shifter

I guess I am jst an old Dirt Bike rider and can't get used to the awkward motion - took it off my Rk & RG and the Lo boy as soon as I got it home. I bought the Kuyrakan cover, it was cheaper and now I can paint it black to match the shorter shifter that I had made....
