I did not know you had that. Will be ordering it to replace the POS I got on now as soon as I figure out why I keep getting a broke link when I try to order it from your site.

Funny. I had to buy a heel shifter for my '20 Freewheeler. A swap would have saved us both some money!

Some dealerships were wise enough and had the foresight to order heel shifters for the Tri-Glides that they sold just in case the buyer wanted (at cost) one.

I've been riding with heel-toe shifters since '92 and it would be hard for me to go without the heel shifter

The whole time I have been riding I have only used the toe shifter. Started years ago on a sporty, and that's what I was comfortable with. Have taken them off everything else just because. Maybe it's time to be more patient and give it a longer trial period.

If you have a heel shifter, work with what you got...

I get a piece of heater hose at the auto parts store and cut it to proper length. Been doing that for years.

Back in the 80's when I got my 1st "touring" bike I tried to use the heel toe shifter. I really did try! Just couldn't get past having to raise my whole leg up to shift verses rocking my toe up. Plus it gives you alot more room to move your foot around on long boring trips. Doesn't feel captured. But at least we have a choice.
