I took off the heel shifter, too, but didn't want to move the toe shifter, seems to work OK in its normal position.
Seems to me I've read some threads with different approaches to this over the years; you might find something useful here somewhere.
Also, you might find a shift lever cheap in the classifieds here, if you want to cut one down and use it.

EZ Brake offers a spacer that is spring loaded and keeps tension on the shifter shaft, I'm assuming to prevent wear of the shifter shaft bushing. I originally used the cap style to cover the end of shifter shaft, but I wanted the toe shift in the out board position.

+1 for Kuryakyn "Heel Shift Lever Eliminator"... http://www.kuryakyn.com/products/71/...ver-eliminator
Easy to de-install the heel shift lever, and put this spacer in it's place. Look good too!

Picked up a Pingel heel shift eliminator from JP Cycles for just over $40, well worth it!
