RE: DROPPED THE SOB!
I took mine off first thing... didn't think about getting caught up in it, just 'old school' MC rider. I'm interested in your point about a cap though. I just have the extra shaft sticking out where I removed it. Is there such a thing? I'd be all -over that.

I guess my only question is whether or not that cover is simply cosmetic...or does it help support the toe shifter. The thing is only $13 so I guess I will probably just get it, but I'm curious about the experiences others have had with it.

BTW: Anyone thinking of removing their engine/bag guards for a cleaner look...DON'T!
Those things just save me mucho $$$ in repairs after today's mishap.

I have that shaft cover and I like the looks I guess if the bolt fell out of the toe shifter it would keep the toe shifter in place I hid the screw down on the bottom and it sure looks a lot better than the splined shaft sticking out there. It has my vote and it is cheap.

RE: DROPPED THE SOB!
the cap is cosmetic. or you could go with a kuryakyn one, it goes on the inside and pushes your shift lever to the outside (so it is mostly a chrome bushing) but it runs 25 bucks. i've seen people run without one, but it just looks unfinished. look at it this way, what can you buy from hd that is ONLY 13 bucks and looks good?

Thanks folks.
That heal shifter is GONE!
I took it off as soon as the bike cooled enough.
I'll hold on to it in case I ever need to replace my toe shifter.
Is anybody who's removed their heel shifter running without any kind of shaft cover for the piece that the heel shifter was attached to?
I like where my toe shifter is positioned so I'm not interested in moving it out any. I justwasn't sure if that shaft cover HD sells is cosmetic or serves a purpose (keeps the toe shifter on).
This is the shaftcover I'm speaking of:http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US
