Default Custom Shift Lever Needed 2002 Deuce

Because of neuropathy my muscles that lift my ankle are weak. I have been using a heal toe lever on my Moto Guzzi with much success. Heal toe shifters for Forwards control pegs are rare nonexistent. I am looking at these two but I have not been able to confirm if the splines are the same if the splines are the same, I may be able to make something work Both of theses are for older four speed shovels

Can't answer your question about splines, but the first one there you listed does say free returns.

I think both have free returns I may have to go that route if no one knows the answer.

The V-Twin version looks like a copy of the Dewey Heel Hammer that is no longer available.
It might/might not work like you want.

Have you read this thread ? They replaced the mounts with those from a Heritage to get longer spline shaft
so that the 'traditional' softail heel/toe shifters work. Thread has some pretty good pictures too....

good luck,

I added the parts from that above mentioned thread, to give my 2001 Softail a heel/toe shift...

This is the result:

Default Total Failure




Shaft and Splines fit perfectly Can not Clock in any position without interfering with the primary cover, foot peg or kick stand. Proceed to plan B

Bummer.

Plan B being the second one? Hopefully that kick out the lever has will do the job!

My only sure way is to go with the longer Heritage Shaft and use the standard heal toe shift levers.
I probably should have gone this route in the first place. I was just looking for a cleaner appearance.
Thanks for everyone's help

I put a heel/toe on my mid control '16 Low Rider. I used this Drag Specialties shift lever:

The heel portion does bend outward, unlike the one you tried that is straight. I just don't know how the lengths will translate to your application.

Here is what it looks like on my '16 Low Rider

Plan B Installed. Parts used. Drag PU-DS-530610 Arm and a Inner Shifter Shaft Lever EB

Used an inner FLH lever to make a short heal lever

Installed a heal-toe long shaft

Shift Pegs from Spares

Adjusted until it seemed about right. Now the fun part I get to try it out.
