Love the heel shifter BUT the first things to go were the stock shift levers and brake lever.
Stock shifters feel too cramped and brake lever too high and back.
Extended shift levers set low and EZ brake plus floorboard extenders puts me in the comfort zone.

The only time I use mine is to find neutral, and for some reason that damn spot is hard to find sometimes!

The only time I use it is to find neutral, and for some odd reason that can be a pain in the rear at times! Other than that, my boot never touches it!
