#372973 Milateket (User) North Of The Boarder Platinum Boarder Posts: 1844 New Boots = Can't Shift = Need Help 1 Year ago   hi... just picked up some nice boots for riding. Problem is i cannot get my toe under the shifter. I have floor boards and i do have the heel toe set up. I really never did like using my heel to shift. the boots are really not all that big at the toe. In fact i picked them because of this... Can the shifter be tilted up at the toe end? What have others done?

The shifter lever is on a grooved/fluted spline. You can loosen the pinch bolt remove shifter adjust where needed and reinstall. I think the linkage should be okay without adjustment. The brake pedal has a threaded bolt with a lock nut. Loosen the lock nut and turn the threaded bolt. You'll see the pedal raise. Once in the right position tighten the lock nut.   Logged     Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. -John Watson   The administrator has disabled public write access. #372977 jamie99roadstar (User) As confused as a hungry baby in a topless bar.

If it has the two piece, take the heel shifter off and roll the toe shifter up to get clearance. If it has the one piece, cut the heel shifter off and rotate the toe shifter up. See, easy as pie.   Logged     Feenstras Towing   The administrator has disabled public write access. #372979 Gib (User) whatever Senior Boarder Posts: 275 Re:New Boots = Can't Shift = Need Help 1 Year ago   Yes you can tilt it up at the front. remove the bolt holding the clinch assembly which is right under the shift rod going to the trans. Slide it off (back towards the motor), re-position to fit your needs. You may have to remove the entire assembly from the frame which is 2 nuts towards the motor slightly ahead of the floorboard mount. Get to them from the bottom. This is the same bracket that holds the horn bracket on. IF YOU HAVE BIG FEET: While you have the assembly off the bike just hacksaw off the rear shift arm or flip it around and use the rear for the front and hacksaw the other end off. Personal preference I feel that flipping the lever 180 degrees and using the rear as the front, keeps the shifter closer to the motor.   Logged     Ain\'t scared a no BoogerMan   The administrator has disabled public write access. #372983 Milateket (User) North Of The Boarder Platinum Boarder Posts: 1844 Re:New Boots = Can't Shift = Need Help 1 Year ago   Wonderful!

It is the one piece. I have been thinking on getting rid of the heel toe shift and just going with the toe. This is the first bike i have ever had that had a heel toe shifter. There is nothing natural, to me, trying to shift with my heel...   Logged     Loren North Of The Boarder Cape Breton   The administrator has disabled public write access. #373004 Roadstarblue (User) Always wanted a sunroof.
