Shift linkage
Hello so I have a 2000 heritage softail. With 49k miles. And I had the old pegs switched out to floor boards and a new shift levers but it seems the shift linkage hits my exhaust. I can barley kick it in to gear and at times I need to really force it in there. Anything can help please. And thank you ahead of time. I’ll post pictures.

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, a rough idea of your range per tank, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding, and upwards of 230+ on trips.
Good Luck!!
