New Way Shifter

[BCRoadking]

Has anybody seen or actually tried this setup , was thinkin it would be a cool addition for my Road King , got big feet with big boots and am gettin lazy so not liftin heel would be a great thing , also usin toe shifter is hard on Arthritic big toe

Pretty interesting concept. I can see where a big foot would get you into trouble hitting the wrong peg.

I'll pass. I can lift my toe. I got rid of the heel shifter because it didn't leave any room on the floorboard to move around.

Lew I put a kick back heel shifter on my bike,It's great. You don't lose your heel shifter and when you don't want it you kick the peg back out of the way

Look at Walters workshop (Walter's Workshop - Designer and Distributor of Premier Motorcycle Parts) they have a set of shifter arms that is 2.25 over standard. I wear a size 12 boot and have ample room to move around. the only downside I have seen is you need to replace the shifter arm to one with ball joints as opposed to the barrel joints in the stardard rod as you are throwing a lot more torque on the shift lever.

I don't have a huge foot but I can see myself hitting the wrong peg anyway:shock Been riding with the traditional 1 down 4 up (now it's 5 up) so long I don't know how long it would take me to get used to.

A friend of mine got his kid a little 80 CC dirt bike from Joe's and it shifts all down, it's real hard to get used to.

Heck, I say let's go totally retro and bring back the hand shifter and clutch hand lever...just saw one on one very old Harley today by the way.

Seriously, interesting idea upshift toe left, downshift toe right...if you get used to it I suppose it could work, ingenuity is a good thing. :newsmile078:

For some i guess it would work but ill pass .. as lew said i just ditched the rear shifter i didnt like it anyways

 

[Bud White]

i never rode witht hat rear shifter and it messed me up i only have size 11 so it wasnt room for me just weird.. have you seen the new roller peg they are making now?

I actually saw this shifter on the parts counter at the HD dealer. Really well built, solid billit material, and expensive.

Kind of a nifty idea although I prefer the tried and true "heel toe" shifter.

I prefer the heel shifter as it doesn't scuff the toe of my cowboy boot when upshifting.
