New Folding Heel Shifter from HD

I was searching for something else and came across aFolding Heal Shifter.

Thought gee that is kinda cool. especially as much as I hear people complain about the Heel shifter. I don't use the heel shifter much. Just never got into it but I leave it on. Only once in a while do I hit it with my foot (don't have guy feet I guess).

Now that is a great idea. I'll be picking one of those up on my next trip to the dealers. I love the heel shift and use it all the time but the extra room on the road will be great.

Thanks Bev

Your welcome...just struck me as something a lot of people would like.

I'm in the process of getting the foot controls changed on my bike so I was checking out those and found it. Going with the Center Line collection. Doesn't seem too popular though...Dealers are saying thier not selling well. Guess it means I'll be Unique

Gonna need to post a new picture soon...bike not looking like that so much anymore [&:]

At $70 it should automatically retract in 5th (or 6th) and return upon a downshift. I just ordered a new set of the standard shifter; $27 for both including screws. My size 12's never seem to have an issue with them. If I did I think I'd just opt for an extended arm on the rear.

Thanks for the heads up! It's always fun to look at new things

My dealership parts guy was not sure if the shifter pedal rotated to 90 degrees. The pics in the new accessories catalog shows that it moves only about 45 degrees. For this part to work for me, I would need it to move 90.

I started using the heal shifter when I lost the toenail on my left foot. Once you start shifting that way it seems no other way feels good. Centerline is a good looking product. I have them on my 07 ultra.

RE: New Folding Heel Shifter from HD

I wonder how many bikes are going to lying on their side after their owners install that? Can you imagine reaching down with your clutch hand to set your heel shifter and forgetting to put the bike in neutral first?
