www.softbrake.com
Here is a pic of the Softbrake billet shifters (front and back) on my bike. You can buy the front (or back) only in different lengths. I bought an extended rear shifter to open up the floor board. The billet shifter in the HD catalog only comes in one length - stock.



I have had Softbrake products on my last 3 baggers. The quality is absolutely first rate.

SSJ,

The front is 1/2 over, the rear is 1-1/2 over. I would have gotten a zero over (same as stock) on the front but Softbrake doesn't offer one. The shortest they offer is 1/2 over.

Doug

I clicked for the 1 inch over in black, but they did not have a black brake lever to match.&nbsp\\; Though that was weird.

I used the Harley set, only installed the front, and used a Kury spacer.
