Heel shifter

This was my first bike with one, and after using it a couple days I would feel lost without it. I really like the look of the Kury pads also, very nice.

4 inch angle grinder with a cut off wheel and a big hammer. If you screw it up, a new base is about thirty bucks. I didn't do the drifter arm since I have plenty of leg room

I put the Drifter brake pedal on mine. Kept getting my foot caught under the stock one. It worked great. Moved the pedal forward about 1 1/2". Best mod I did. More comfortable and safer.

I went with the Drifter cover for it, too.

I like the heel shifter best. I like to hear that positive "SHIICK" sound when shifting. BnG

Kuryakyn makes a cover for HD that will fit the brake pedal without all of the grinding, just take off the stock rubber pad and drill new mounting hole for Kury pad. I don't know what the part # is, I just saw it at the HD dealership and asked if I could take it out to see if it would work on the brake pedal on my bike.
