After being stranded once mine came off. The forks in the tranny are not strong.

I try to give my heal shifter some love, but I just don't get it. Seems much easier to toe shift. If I had dress shoes on I could use it, but that's not likely.

New to a Harley with this bike, I've never had one till now. I use it from time to time. Some people swear by it, so I thought I'd try to get used to it.
