Default Shorter toe shifter

Hey guys,

I recently got rid of the heel shifter on my 2011 Street Glide. I was wondering if there are any suggestions for a shorter reach toe shifter. I like to have my foot further back on the floor board and right now to shift I have my foot too far forward for my liking.

I did a forum search and didn't find anything.

All input appreciated.

Thanks
Dan

perhaps a fab shop could trim a bit off and weld the splined part back on?

My toe shifter is on the outer splines of the shifter shaft. This makes it easy for me to shift with the lip of my boot sole on the shifter arm and not the toe thingie.

free and effective.

Go to your local dealer, check out other models of Harley's to see if there is a shorter
shift lever then the one on your Bike. A tape measure will be needed.

If the shifter shaft is the same size as your Bike it should fit.

Thanks for the replies guys......I'm going to follow Oldphat's advice. If that fails , to the fab shop it is.

Thanks again
