Default I'm to lazy to lift foot to use it!

Removed it and had to put Kuryakan cap to save the boot.

Will never go back

Removed and put a Pingle spacer in there. Lets me use the whole floorboard.

After I took mine off, I was reading in a Mag (Cycle World maybe) that they removed theirs too for more room.

If I had shiny dress shoes I didn't wanna scuff up, Id put it back on and deal with it in the way.

I never had one on any of my other bikes, why start now? heck, I'm just getting used to the right signal button on the right side.

Didn't like it at first. Now that I've gotten used to it, I use it about 95% of the time.

I'm a bit on the tall side, and always rode bikes that only had a toe shifter only - so I took the heel shifter off. I needed the room on the footboards to move around a bit.
