I've had bikes for over thirty years now and this is the first one with a heel shifter and I really like it. I am going to look into the shfiter extenders mentioned earlier in this thread though. Oh yeah, since it is a theme in this thread, I wear a 11 1/2 (but it is a wide one though)!!!

Geeee.....I guess it's true!

BIG FOOT does ride a Harley[sm=joke.gif]
With my little 9 1/2, I got room to dance on the floorboards!
And I use the heel shifter about 65% of the time

I got a '05 electra glide standard and I use a heel shifter all the time and I love it but one day it fell off and hit the windshild of a car. Put two big holes in the windshild I paid the woman for the windshild and i figured that harley would reimburse for the money i spent sinse it was there faultit was installed at the factory apon close inspection of the heel shifter its not made right you can pull the shifter off without removing the bolt the hole and threads are too far out. I'm pretty shure all '05 electra glides are made the same. It could fall of and kill someone. I got another shifter and shaft installed under warranty but the new part is still not made right. I was wondering if any one else had this problem.

Size 12 here and to gain space on the floorboard I went with a billet style 2 3/4 in extended shift lever from Bubba's on my 04 SEEG. High quality and much better looking than the MOCO stuff, shifts real slick, barely have to move my foot!
