I have a 97 electra glide classic. the last couple weeks been having an issue with the heel shaft coming loose during riding. Bought a new set of heel/toe shifter thinking maybe the old one weren't any good. My second time riding with the new ones the heel came loose again. Could it be time for a new shifter shaft??

 

Yes, take it apart and inspect the splines.
Good Luck

maybe the shifter shaft is worn out where the heel goes?

 

I had a similar problem but with an aftermarket H/T shifter by Drag Specialties, which I installed myself.

My splined shaft has an ident ring milled into it so I had the new shifter body drilled & tapped so a set screw could be inserted through the shifter body into the ident on the spline. Its loctited in place and nothing budges now.

All in all its a cheap, effective fix.

 

I had the same issue on my 2011 Street Glide. I replaced the allen bolt with a hex bolt, and where the threads came up through the top of the lever, I put a nut on that. It's been a few weeks and one 500 mile trip, and it hasn't come loose.

 

That would be my guess.

 

 

what do you think??

 

This has happened to me as well. Seems to be a common issue that the Mother Co. does not care to address.

 

What did you end up doing TwoBlue?
