Yeh ive never owned a bike with boards and felt weird and a bit cramped having them there. As they say each to there own

 

I have never had boards before either. Heck I have never had a Harley before. During the test rides, I really enjoyed having all the different foot placements with the boards. At least you won't have to worry about them scraping.

 

If someone made 22" foot boards I'd buy'em
Would be dood for stunts

 

My Olive Slim S finally arrived, after riding it for the past few days I must say that I am not a fan of the heel shifter. I'm going to get it a few more miles before I remove it, who know I may change my mind.

 

Mine was gone after a few days. It didn't work well with my size 14 boots.

 

Mine went after the ride home from the dealer.

 

I only use the front to shift into first and down shift. Did need an extended rear lever though as my foot needed mrr room. Its a personal thing. Not everyone like them

 

I found changing the positions of the lever, toe to the outside and heel to the inside allowed my foot more room, and for me a more natural position.
Personally I wouldn't be without the heel shifter, my foot and leg are in less than stellar shape.

Each to their own, you need to be comfortable.

 

I was absolutely taking it off when I took my test ride, actally kind of scared me because I've never rode a bike with heel toe shifter. After about 100 miles or so on the bike and getting more familiar with it around town, I love the heel toe shifter and it's here to stay on my bike.

 

Do like jackAfrica and switch them if you like. I did as well a while ago. Found it more functional
