#35306 Frankie_G (User) GODSPEED Senior Boarder Posts: 205 Heel/Toe Shifter Mod 4 Years, 10 Months ago   I find that I never use my heel shifter. I am thinking of cutting the shifter lever off so only the toe shaft is on. The reason being that I like to rest my foot toward the back of the floorboard sometimes, and the heel shifter is in the way. Anyone else ever cut their shifter ? <br><br>Post edited by: Frankie_G, at: 2007/07/28 17:23   Logged     SLED ZEPPELIN   The administrator has disabled public write access. #35307 StarMyram (User) STARVE to RIDE, RIDE to LIVE Gold Boarder Posts: 906 Re:Heel/Toe Shifter Mod 4 Years, 10 Months ago   Frankie_G wrote: I find that I never use my heel shifter.

The reason being that I like to rest my foot toward the back of the floorboard sometimes, and the heel shifter is in the way. Anyone else ever cut their shifter ? Yup! You bet! I just cut the back part off and and rounded the metal off to a round contour with my belt-sander and touched up the edge with silver paint to keep the rust off. Standing besidee th bike, you cant tell anything was ever cut off! (Of course, if you are one of those rich guys that have an '06 or newer, you just remove the &quot;New for '06 removeable heel shifter&quot; with the flip of a wrench! Mine is a 2005 which had the old style one-peice heel/toe shifter. <br><br>Post edited by: StarMyram, at: 2007/07/28 00:17   Logged     A Fallen Man is not a failure.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #35308 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Heel/Toe Shifter Mod 4 Years, 10 Months ago   Another way of doing it. http://forums.delphiforums.com/1602/messages?msg=145311.1   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #35310 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3123 Re:Heel/Toe Shifter Mod 4 Years, 10 Months ago   Yes and if ya dont want to cut up the stock one ya can always http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/accessories/acscitemdetail/5/18/91/423/all/1/128/0/detail.aspx   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #35318 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3213 Re:Heel/Toe Shifter Mod 4 Years, 10 Months ago   Frankie- I had the same problem with the heel/toe shifter. I was going to cut mine, but I found one like Pop pointed you to on eBay for about $20. I love it--the size 13s can move around with no accidental shifting...

I just have never used the heel shifter on any bike I have owned, but one of my riding buddies says he can't live without his heel shifter. It's just in my way. The one Pop linked me to looks pretty sharp ! Might have to get one of those.   Logged     SLED ZEPPELIN   The administrator has disabled public write access. #35429 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3123 Re:Heel/Toe Shifter Mod 4 Years, 10 Months ago   I did not regret it   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #35432 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Heel/Toe Shifter Mod 4 Years, 10 Months ago   That's a nice looking piece but i'm way to used to my heel shifter. If I took it off I'd get all confused and hurt myself.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #35436 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3123 Re:Heel/Toe Shifter Mod 4 Years, 10 Months ago   Musky...
