I would like to put a toe/heel shifter on my Sportster.....has anyone done this? The HD dealer says no, but I take that with a grain of salt.................thanks.
Barbara, would love to see your pictures. I have been thinking of floorboards for a while now, with my forward controls, but I would like to SEE what they look like before I go there. Thanks.

I don't understand. Why go to the bother?? My previous Harley had a heel-toe shifter (01 Heritage Classic). My 1200 C doesn't. I personally don't see the advantage of one over the other.

I'm interested in floorboards only.

Would love to find out more on this too, I rode a buddies streetglide about a year ago and liked the feel of his heel toe shifter.

I used to have a 1987 Heritage Classic and I preferred the heel/toe shifter. I prefer heel kickingto upshiftversushunt & snag the peg topull up.
