I took mine off but did not like the toe shifter being so far inward. What I did was took a chrome socket, 5\8" I think and cut it the thickness of the shifter shaft and it serves the purpose of a chrome spacer. Now I have the toe shifter in the right position and have a free chrome spacer. Oh did I mention free? lol

 

+1 on the heel/toe shifters.

 

+2 on the liking of the heel/toe shifter I have caught the leg of jeans once or twice on the heel shifter but I do love the set up.

 

heel shifters are only good if you have shoes on that you dont want damaged lol

 

Welll back in the early 70's when bell bottoms where in style, I mean big bell bottoms. One time the leg blew up and over and on the kick starter.
did ya ever try to rip a pair of pants out sideways at the bottom,
At the next stop, I had one helpless, sick feeling as I went over.....
I didn't have to go to the hospital but the bike needed some new parts....

for some reason I never wore loose legs pants again, EVER

 

Heel shifters are for tight pant tap dancers..Lol

 

My new bones was the first heel/toe shifter I had tried. Ithought I could probably get used to it but I found the heel shifter was right where I like to put my foot. I like to hang my heels over the back of the boards mostly. With the heel shifter in place the only spot I could put my foot was in between the heel/toe pegs. Too limited. I like to move my feet around. Removed the heel shifter and raised the toe shifter up about 1/2 inch and put a chrome cap on the spline. Now I'm as happy as a pig in ....

 

Info for Daddys_Limousine99 -

There is a cap available from HD to cover the spline when you remove the heel shifter. Here's a link http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

I removed my heel shift lever and also replaced the toe lever with the billet lever for a Dyna or Softail FX http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US- it's a little longer and curved so it gives me a little bit more leg room. Also it matches the billet extended brake lever I installed to stretch my right leg out a bit.

 

I just lowered the heel shifter on my 'Bones so that it almost touches the floorboard when I shift. It seems better than the factory setting, but admittedly the jury is still out on whether I keep it on for the long haul.

 

+1 never had a prob.
