Nothing will accomplish what you want to do. Just take the rear lever off and cut off the part of the shaft that sticks out. Never have liked the 2 lever set up...it's in the way big time

p.s. the reported 'boot cut pants' catching the heel shifter problem I had, and it all but fully disappeared after adding the HG extensions..

Now that's a plan I can get behind.

The only only good thing I read about and tried was that it was easier shifting into neutral with the heal shift versus the toe portion.

I took to the heel toe shift like a duck to water... I love it! I haven't had any problems with bumping into the rear peg, or pants getting stuck on it. When not in the city, I tend to slide my feet way forward under the front peg anyway. I have found so far that it is still easier to shift into neutral by shifting up on the front peg from first.

I was going to mention the extensions... I don't have them yet, but I would imagine that would help greatly for those who say the rear peg gets in the way.
