01 Uktra Classic-About two years ago my pegs were acting up, I tightened adjusted and bought some inexpensive ones that bolted with a nut not screwed onto peg itself, is one better than the other. I'm leaning towards the one bolting onto peg style. We'll acting up again, I reinstalled called the ones that came with ultra. Thinking of replacing shaft, bushings, shaft arm, pegs heel and toe along with linkage. I'm new to replacing parts haven't a clue 😲 Suggestions appreciated.
Try a longer extended shift lever for the heel shifter - they call them 9.84" (250mm) to get it off the floorboard with a pad, then because you have to take out the spacer the regular forward shift lever is moved to the inside some, get a long toe shifter - 3 or even 4".
Just an option and opinion.
I love my serup.
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.
When it's on top of the board you can't fit your foot on the board without shifting.
And it should be fine as long as you don't stomp on it like an animal.

You are very much correct, sir!
While I do not run the heel shifters on my bikes, my friends do, and twice now (1000+ miles away from home) we have been on the side of the road dealing with shifter shaft mishaps because they had adjusted them too high, allowing for too much force to be applied when it bottoms-out before hitting the board.
