Shifter shaft cover??
I know HD makes the shift shaft cover for people who remove the heel shifter and leave the toe shifter in the stock position. Does anyone make a shaft cover that would go on the inside of the shaft if the toe shifter was moved to the outside of the shaft? I had used several thick spacers when I did this with my 2010 RG, however I would like a more finished look on the new bike. Thanks

I had the Kuryakyn spacer but replaced it with a spring-loaded item sold by Soft Brake. Scroll down to the "Extended Spring-Loaded Spacer" (SB-ESS). I was getting quite a bit of shaking and rattling in the shifter area and this calmed it down considerably.

Yeah, pretty much almost exactly similar to that one. How do you like it?
I gotta get rid of this heel shifter too, it drives me nuts...

I bought the Kuryakyn brand and it works fine, but after seeing the bitch bagger spacer, I wish I would have known about it first. It's a smoother look than the Kuryakyn. Anyway, moving the shifter to the end of the shaft is a good thing in my opinion.

I did this mod on my current and last bike.
I used this.

It goes really well with my 1" Soos spacers and the position is nice.
While you're at it , remove the shifter shaft , drill and tap the primary bushing for 1/4x28 and install a grease fitting.
This combo looks good , works great , and has no play at 19,000 miles so far.
I must say , the Bitchin Bagger spacer looks nicer.
