You are under warranty and the dealer should fix the problem for free.

The exact same thing happened to me right after I had my break in service done. When the mechanic heard what happened he tightened it up(I happened to be close to the dealer when it happened).But he thought I or somebody was messin around with it(yeah right).So much for goin over every nut and bolt.

Morn'n,

The first thing I do when I get a bike that has the heel shifter is remove it
and move the front toe shifter up one or two teeth.
I like the little added space on the floorboard. More comfortable.

Hello Again

I don't want to remove my rear shift lever I find the rear shifter very convenient I can hardly fit my boot under the front lever because the fairing lowers hit the front of my boot DURING UP SHIFTING

Afternoon all,

I had the same issue last year on my 08 Ultra but was lucky enough to find it, took it home tightened or at least what i thougth was tight and was going down the driveway and it fell off again.

You can tighten that bolt all you want and all you can but your not going to pull that steel together enough to make a difference or help i had to pinch the end closed a little with a vise and have not had a problem since.

That is exactly what I did and for the same reason. With the thick sole and large toe on some riding boots I thought it would almost be mandatory.

I guess I'am a member of the lost shifter club, same thing happened to me. When mine came off had just up shifted after coming thru some twisties, out in the sticks, luckily a fellow biker came by, with just enough tools to put it on, after retrieving it some ways back hidden under leaves. Had'nt had the bike less than a week.

I've never lost the whole peg, but I have lost the peg that bolts onto the arm. ...

Hmmm! I sense a pattern!!!

I lost the ball stud where the linkage attaches about 6 weeks after delivery. I now check it every couple of weeks or so. The blue loctite works 'cuz it hasn't loosened yet.

Not much value from the dealer prep fee! :nosad
