Or lack there of.





I noticed that it was missing when I was a couple miles from home after a hundred mile run today. The heel shifter was there before I took off. I planned on taking it off, but not this way.

 

Now you don't have to have the thing taking up shelf space.

 

This seems to be happening a lot as of late. Note to self check your bike ASAP!!!!

 

Apparently this is becoming a big Fail at the factory on tq'ing down bolts !

 

Heel shifter coming off both our bikes this weekend and cover cap going on

 

If you still have it, toss it in your saddle bag as you might need it for the front in an emergency. I stopped not too long ago to help a biker out and his front was gone and left his back one at home. His wife was on the way with the rear so he could get the bike home.

This is what happened to me this past weekend: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/new-r...ot-happen.html

 

Mine fell off last week after 3500 miles. I had already removed the heel shifter and put a chrome spacer on it so I torqued it down (@ 300 miles)

Seems they can vibrate loose even after being torqued. Put some locktite on this time.

 

Several folks have reported taking them off for inspection and seeing that the slot is not actually free to compress as is has metal inside. After removing this or clearing the slot they were able to properly tighten and eliminate any play. Only applying torque may not solve the issue.

 

Mine flew off on a ride last weekend, found her in the median.

 

Mine just fell off the bike last week at 4000mi.
