Heel shifting is completely natural to me. I've been doing it for 15 years now.
I'd like to find a solution to move the rear brake pedal further out. I hate being pigeon toed to reach the pedal. Any idea?

Yeah thanks. I know about this Kuryakyn extended pedal but I have HD Nostalgic floorboards, brake pedal and shifter pegs and I would like to keep them.

The two biggest gripes I hear are from those who can't figure out heel shifting and those who can't figure out how to find neutral.

Seems to me that experience teaches both and that they become very easy and friendly to use in a short time.

I don't have a problem with finding neutral either. First I use Redline w/ Shockproof in the tranny and it helps and second, it's my experience that neutral is much easier to find if the bike still moves vs. being completely stopped.
Is this your experience too?
