Heel /Toe Shift- Rear Brake levers

Does anyone know who makes some nice Heel toe and rear brake levers.I cant find much except the Harley and Arlen Ness stuff.Especially the rear brake lever that has always been an eye sore to me.Thanks in advance.

I simply took off the rear pad and put a domed allen in the hole. It now serves as a primary guard and no longer catches my heel. I don't like them because you can't be totally accurate as you can with the toe shift.

I like the look of mine with no heel shifter. Not needed and I caught my cuff on it more than once.

Took mine off the day I got the bike home. Just not for me. Got the little HD cover and put it on and it's all good.

You must be at about the same point as me in your build. Floorboards...now this lol. Im in the market for a shift lever and brake lever. I think Softbrake is probably gonna be our best bet. Seems like there stuff rivals HD in quality and you can get the toe shifter without the shotty heel shifter which saves a little coin. Plus you can get them extended in different lengths which for my size 13 clod hoppers is a good thing. Im probably gonna run the softbrake +1" extended shift lever and the +1" brake lever in the "slotted" design. I think the slotted design is equivalent to HD's "billet" look.

Ill never give up my heel shifter. You cant power shift with a toe shifter. I have won many light to light races by power shifting with the heel shifter. To each their own...
