#458101 dvblair (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 192 shifter mod 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Has anyone cut off the heel portion of the shifter? I never use it and would like to have the extra room. I would like to remove it but it looks like you would need a spacer on the shaft and I'm not sure how much is invovled it taking it off.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #458107 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3209 Re:shifter mod 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I've cut mine off of both of mine... but they're '01s. To read your post, I get the impression you might be referring to the 2-piece shifter on later models... is that right?   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #458108 dvblair (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 192 Re:shifter mod 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Yes Sir I am.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #458149 OBMF (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 561 Re:shifter mod 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   My '07 was 2 piece. Try as I might, I just couldn't get used to the heel shifter. Took it off (easy) and have it lying in my spare parts drawer if anyone needs one...

You could remove the heal portion (spoon) but it will leave the splined stud sticking out of the back of the shifter. You could also cut the back of the shifter off, making sure to leave the pinch bolt(#22) room to work. I don't use mine either. I adjusted the heal portion so it's as low as it can go with out hitting anything on the up shift. Now it doesn't bother me being there. My foot slides right over the top of it.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/02/09 04:34 By rphazen.   Roadstar Pics ......................

Ground and polished the remains nice and round.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #458218 saab9k (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 193 Re:shifter mod 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I am going to leave my heel part, when i get the trike kit installed, will then ride with sandals in summertime.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #458225 OK, just JB..

So on the two piece shifters, they work independently of each other right? I've heard of too many "shift lever fell off" stories to want to ditch the heel, even tho I've used it like twice   Logged     guns are meant to be shot Harley, not thrown   The administrator has disabled public write access. #458234 rphazen (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 674 Re:shifter mod 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   JBubbs wrote: Sandals!??!

I've heard of too many "shift lever fell off" stories to want to ditch the heel, even tho I've used it like twice Not really, the heel and toe shifter are separately adjustable. But they both pivot off the same shaft. If you lost the toe shifter the heel shifter went with it. Cant really see the shaft in the pic I posted earlier. However, the shaft comes through the spacer marked #16 then into the shifter.   Logged     Roadstar Pics ......................
