I've seen that done before. Nothing wrong with it at all, and if there was you wouldn't catch me judging anyway.
I personally went with two extended levers and the back one is about flush with the floorboard. I only use the heel for neutral and having that position gives be positive neutral engagement every single time easily.

 

I may try the extended shifter at some point, but in the meantime, this didn't cost me nuthin'.

 

 

Extended heel shifter, stock on the front one

 

Really....you're really just messin' with us, right?

I mean, if you positioned your shifter totally vertical you could just use your leg to shift.

Ya, now I'm just messin' with you.

 

What ever works for you I guess

 

It doesnt look bad but how does it help? With the lever canted in the same direction as the standard front shifter wouldn't they both exert force the same way?

 

You have to know that when you put something "different" on here, there ARE going to be people who don't think it's genius. Nothing wrong with that....one of the things that makes this country great. Get over it and move on.

 

that is what works for me

 

Whatever floats your boat...for me, I'd be scared of getting the toe stuck in like a vise and then can't get foot loose to plant before bike tips...JMO.
