Use it, and like it.
Like others have said, I had to adjust both levers down one spline to make it comfortable but it's all good now.
It does make it awkward though when jumping on the Sporty and it’s not there.

Always use it. Took a time or two to get used to it but would not ride without now.

On my Road King- one of the first things I modified, I took it off. On the Street Glide, I adjusted it and cant live without it. Go figure....

Heel / toe all the way for me. Took me about a week to get used to it and never going back.

Tried to get used to it, couldn't. Took it off and am fine without it.
