Parts Man -
Check out Rivco. That's what I had on my Wing. Quality product that worked well. A Google should get you a hit for a Web site.

My dad said the biggest mistake Harley ever made was back in '53 when they moved that dadburn shifter off the side of the tank down there where you had to shift with your foot.
Guess he was right Parts Man. Edited by Road Dawg - Apr-26-2011 at 9:03pm |

Road Dawg, that's to funny! I told my wife the same thing and she didn't believe me about that type of shifter.

Rivco are great people to work with. I bought my flag mount for the 2010 Ultra from them. If you ride with the Patriot Guard they will also give you a 10% discount.

PARTS MAN, Get a piece of foam and cut a piece that will fit inside your sock over the top of your toes and and top of foot for about an inch. taper it and get it where your toes don't move up to touch your shoe as you up shift and you can shift up and down without hurting your broken toe.

parts man a oversize steel toe boot might be your cheapest option. There is a lot of shifting in the pack for Harley guys. Now for those FNG's not riding Harleys it is throttle control and double clutching that works best. My Royal Star having a VMAX engine really does not slow down much when shifting from fourth to third, in fact it will take off like a rocket if done wrong, but grabbing the clutch and letting it coast down a little does work, not sure if that will work with a Harley, but it does work well with metric bikes. Hope you heal quick, and like I said a good Ace Bandage and a bigger show might be a good choice, I have a heal shifter on my star and it helps too.At least my toes aren't too sore at the end of a day.
