I readjusted mine from factory setting and made it lower, works like a charm. Definately a must for me...

There you go! That may be one of the reason Harley did some right for a change and made the shifter easy enough to change for those that like it one way or the other.

Or maybe a Kawasaki thing as my buddy's Kaw has one too. Of course his can't be removed unless he doesn't want to shift at all.

I use mine all the time and wouldn't be without it.

I've had five Harleys, Triumphs, Yamahas, Hondas. Never used heel shifter, you have more positive shifting control with your toe versus your heel. My 2cents.
