I put one of these on, use it when I'm on a long highway run sometimes. To me, best of both worlds.

I had the left passenger peg and mount fall off my 2011 FLHX with only 110 miles on the clock. It wouldn't have been so bad, but my wife was on the back at the time. Took it to the dealer the following Saturday and they stole the assembly off of one on the showroom. The bolt was crossthreaded from the factory. I've had that and a fairing bolt fall out on this one, and a heatshield bolt fall out on my previous Vrod which I bought new. Also the hand controls were loose on that bike. I guess it's just the way it is with Harleys. That's why I get my 1000 mile done at the dealer and then do my own service.

As much as I try, I can't get used to the heel shifter, but like you, I would keep the piece if I took it off. I replaced mine with the one with the pivoting heel shift peg so I could just pivot it out of the way. Didn't like the look of the caps they make to replace the shifter. Kept my old one for whenever (or if ever) I sell the bike.

I have not used the heel shifter but once. A week or so ago, I went to downshift and my toe shifter just dropped all the way to the floorboard. I had to use the heal shifter to get home.
Once home I use Locktite on the shifter bolt for the toe shifter. I had considered removing the heel shifter until that night
