#373059 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4386 Re:New Boots = Can't Shift = Need Help 2 Years ago   Well, I had NO use for a heel shifter... but, I had been riding without one for 35 years before I ever had one, so what would you expect of an old dog? I took the shifter out, put it in a vice, hacked off the heel shifter, and then took it to the wheel to grind away any excess, rounding it off real nice. Looks just like it never had one! And, yeh, the shifter height is fully adjustable.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #373067 Kaidallac (User) The Wind is the Spirit...

I think I have the one I took off mine in a box, if you find you cant live without it. I purchased a chrome toe shifter off ebay years ago. Thats how I learned to shift. Heel shifting is not natural for me and I have never owned a typewriter.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/05/05 08:30 By Scotto.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #373103 JohnnyBravo (User) I'm serious, and don't call me Shirley Platinum Boarder Posts: 1599 Re:New Boots = Can't Shift = Need Help 2 Years ago   Can't get your foot under it? Damn buddy your ol lady must be real happy I can't get used to the heel shift either, takes too long and my foot is already right there to toe shift. So I'll have a little scuff mark on my boot from shifting, at least people will know I actually ride instead of just dressing the part   Logged     guns are meant to be shot Harley, not thrown   The administrator has disabled public write access. #373106 Boatmark (User) Roadie fan, just blowin' down the road...

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1102 Re:New Boots = Can't Shift = Need Help 2 Years ago   I actually thought about cutting the heel shifter off and grinding it down for just a toe shift until I got a touch of gout. OUCH! That heel shifter is pretty handy after all! If I can still walk, I can still ride. Ratl.   Logged     Some days you\'re the bug.

(let alone the brake pedal). I need to adjust the brake pedal up to fit my boot (Large Boot does not equal Large.... you know). Amazing what you learn here! (Also didn't know sheep were scared in Seattle).   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #373180 Ratl (User) Time is just, priceless and it expires.

This pushes the shifter more forward and give you more foot room on the floor boards. I have longer legs just letting you know hope this helps. Just get some clear polish to coat the piece you cut off and grid.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 KB   The administrator has disabled public write access.
