OK,

I apoligize to the folks that have complained about their pants leg getting caught in the heal shifter.........It had never happened to me and then I went and bought some bell bottom blue jeans from old navy and when I pulled into my garage today I nearly dumped the bike because my pants leg got caught in the heal shifter peg of my fatboy.....it was surprising. I was able to hold the bike upright until I got it loose....whew...

I had thought folks were crazy when they claimed this in the past.....for the last 20 years I'd never had it happen....and now....I'm humbled......it happed....I believe you now.....damn....now I've got to rethink a lot of other things....

 

Feels good when you learn somthin' and don't hurt nothin', don't it. Thanks for the reminder.

 

happened a lot to my girlfriend. she took her heel shifter off because of it.

 

One of the reasons I removed my heal shifter...

 

Another reason to ride in shorts.......

 

I took the heel shifter off my 08 FatBoy for the same reason. I came close to dropping it a couple of times(slow learner/hardhead sometimes).

 

Bell bottoms? Just kidding glad to hear that you didn't damage any goods

 

Happened to me as well.....still got the heel shifter...bought some different pants.

 

I've had boot laces get caught on the shifter also, not good.

 

Had a very close call myself !!
