Hello folks
I have a 2001 sportster 1200 custom.I was wondering if anyone knew of a heel toe shifter that would fit it. I just started wearing leg braces and have to hook my heel over the shifter to up shift.
Thanks
Wade

do you know how to weld? it wouldn't be hard to make. If not, I would say ebay would be a good bet. You can probably find one with the right splines for your shifter, and a set of floorboards.

Hi Steel. I have drop foot. The only control I have is to push down with the front part of my foot. I mounted an old shifter on top pointing to the back so I can push down to up or down shift.Drill a 1/4 " hole all the way through both shifters and a long nut & bolt to hold them together. Drill a 1/8" hole through top shifter and part way into the bottom and pound split pin in to hold them in line. Works for me
Good luck. Bernie
