Has anyone extended there gear shift lever?

I would like to move the heal shift back about 1”. Was @ HD & they only sell one from “drag” that moves it 2.5” & it about $80.

Looking for about an 1”

Any ideas?

On my last RK I took the heal shifter off completly don't know if I'll do it with this one, probably will - when I get annoyed enough.

But I forgot about the piece someone sells to put over the space left by taking off the heal shift lever - anyone???

Check out EZshift. I put the EZbrake on my new bike and it is all the difference for my big feet. I can now utilize the entire board. The shifters move forward 2" and back 1". This allows you to set the heel shifter very low as well as giving you all the board for your feet. Shifters will be my next investment.

Good Luck,

Just cut it, and section in a new piece to make it longer. Weld her up, grind her down and call it a day. Atleast that's what I would do if it were me.

skos,

I added the Walters Workshop extended shift lever in the dealer's parking lot before I rode my bike home. In my test/demo rides, my 10 1/2's didn't quite fit in the stock set up.

Personally, I love the heel/toe set up. I got used to it quick. Just needed a little more room. The Walters lever looks just like stock, but is 2 1/4 inches longer. I put it in the rear (heel) position. Looks great, works great.

The walters lever is about $80. They were great to deal with, and gave me some tips to make it an easy install.

Ride safe.

Doug
