After getting used to it I can't imagine not.

I like the heel shift. Once you get used to it, it is cool and it doesn't tear up the top of my boot.

I like the heel shifter myself but I do plan to get an extension to move it a little further back.

Had the dealer take it off, before I brought her home. More room on floorboard.

There's a reason Harley put in on, they know it's not the smoothest gearbox around. I use it all the time, much easier on the toe

It took me about a week to get use to it, but now I love it, use it all the time.

I use the heel shifter on my Ultra all the time. The previous owner of my Road King took it off. If anyone has a heel shifter lever that would fit on a '96 FLHR, I'd be happy to take it off your hands :-)

Use it all the time. At first I could not get used to it, but now I can't shift without it...
