Default Ultra shifter extension

Does anybody know about a way to move the shifter on a 08 Ultra a bit more forward? I find the shifter a bit too far back and I have to "contort" my foot, especially at downshifts. Maybe a longer lever?

The Kury spacer for the shifter is only if you eliminate the heel portion of the Heel/Toe shifter.........

The good Lord (or me mommy & poppy) blessed me with gunboat sized feet (and the other appendages that relate ). I also had the problem with contorting my feet to use either toe or heel shifter, as well as moving my gunboats from under the rear brake lever in quick time. E-Z Brake (company name) makes extenders for both the brake lever and the shifters. They also make matching shift rods to replace the piece of aluminum junk the MoCo puts on for stock.

Just thought you might like an alternative to K. and the others.

OL CHIEF IS RIGHT. I HAVE THE E-Z SHIFTERS AND BRAKE LEVER AND THEY ARE GREAT.

Here is the link....

www.e-zbrake.com

They make the shift linkage that matches, and you can get them in solid or slotted style.
