Default Slim toe heel shifter adjustment

I cant get my boot toe under the front leaver shifter, anyone else had to adjust this, do i need to take the rear heel one off the spline to adjust the front one?

Thanks

It's a common adjustment most people feel comfortable with doing themselves. Very simple. Take off both levers and adjust to your liking.

I read in one of the cheap mods sticky here in the softail section about turning the shift lever around
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softai...heap-mods.html 600some odd posts
I did it and it seemed to help me and I don't have my boot right under the shift lever anymore

It worked for me and my boots fit under the shifter better and don't get scuffed no where near as much
