I just bump my rear shifter.
...with finesse.
I probably said this before, but I’ll repeat. For the average height, to shorter riders, toe shifting is easier than for taller riders whose knees are bent at a more acute angle making it somewhat more difficult to articulate their foot upward to upshift. At least that is my reason.
If you are tall and it doesn’t bother you, bully for you, but for the rest of us, let us enjoy our heel shifters in peace.

Thank you all for response, making list starting with a real good linkage, check Law Abiding Biker store.

A concern about the longer heel lever: Harley cautions about excessive shifting force damaging the linkage and/or the transmission. With the stock heel lever, it can be adjusted so when it is at full shift travel it contacts the foot board. This provides support if a bump is encountered when upshifting and hopefully prevents the inertia of one's leg from the shock force damaging any of the shifting mechanism. Perhaps your roads are smoother than the ones in Oklahoma.
