Default Modifying shift lever Softail
Hi - I got my new Softail a couple of weeks ago and have been customizing it for a perfect fit. I am petite and got the reduced reach seat, took the heel shifter off - however, the shift lever is a bit of a reach for me. Can't seem to find a shorter lever anywhere! Is there anyone out there that I can send my extra shift lever to and have them modify it for me?
Thanks for any help this great forum can give me
