Took mine off right away too. That way I can utilize the entire floorboard.

On my Road King, I loved my heel shifter. On the Crossbones, before I swapped to forward controls, I didn't like the heel shifter

Was one of the first things to come off my Heritage. It was in the way and I had lived without one for many years.
