Heal-toe Vs Toe only.

RE: Heal-toe Vs Toe only.
 \\; Just put an idea out there is all......
and YES, the first thing I checked was to see if the hardware
fastening the toe shifter was tight. \\; I was hoping it was loose and I could
tighten it to get on the road again....but the bolt was tight, the
'teeth' in the toe shifter were stripped.
 \\; \\; I understand some are more comfortable with just a toe shift......
but I would have been stuck in the the Great Smokey Mtns if not for my
heal shift lever.
 \\; I am not preaching.......just giving a heads up.
 \\; I also know how limited the bags are for spares....I will attach my extra shift to
the frame with wire ties if need be! \\; \\; \\; LOL

RE: Heal-toe Vs Toe only.
Thats a good idea. I just have a toe shift, but I may try to get a hold of the heal part myself. I had a 78 flh and I did lose the shifter(didn't crank the bolt down tight enuff) bad news it was one piece - good news i was able to put it back on and get it home. U just never know!!  \\; \\;  \\; \\; \\;  \\; \\; \\;  \\; \\; \\;  \\; \\; \\;  \\; \\; \\;  \\; \\; \\;  \\; \\; \\;  \\; \\; \\;  \\; \\; \\;  \\; \\; \\;  \\; \\; \\; \\; \\;

toe shifter only here.I agree its good idea to cary heel piece as spare.Ive shifter for 200 miles using the lever without the peg.Also I intalled a electric shifter on my rkc the ultimate lazy mans shifter and makes long trips even more laid back

Electric Shifter?!!!! \\; Where does one get it? \\; What does it cost? \\; How hard is it to install? \\; I'm all about being lazy!!
