Georgia, west of Atlanta | I have a heel toe shifter that has been on my 2008 vision since it was new. Very nice one piece aluminum, works great and looks good too. I was told it came off a upgrade for Kingpins with floorboards. Can't find it in the catalouges any more. Any one have any ideas, I'd like another one because the ones they sell now with the reverse clubfoot looks hideous to me.............. Help if possible, aftermarket would be cool too...... |

Hopefully, you can find it cheaper elsewhere. They changed the heel/toe shifter in '10 (?). Now it's a 2 pc unit. |

W'ford Tx | I've found a few of the older style ones that you need new for $150ish on eBay. |

Georgia, west of Atlanta | Ah, I found one on Ebay. Should be here by Wednesday. I already knew this but this exact part was made as part of a floorboard kit for 2004-2010 Kingpins. How I ended up with one on my 2008 Vision which I purchased new I'll never know cause that dealer is no longer in business. I got this one for $116.00 and to me worth every penny. Heres a pic of the one on my 2008 Vision.

Georgia, west of Atlanta | Thanks, I've seen that add on piece. To me the one piece shifter has better flowing lines and I also like the matching rubber pegs.
Victory if you are listening you could sell these by the hundreds if you would offer them. There are alot of Vision and Cross riders who'd like to have a heel toe shifter that looks good and works......... How about $99.00 ?? you already have the molds for them or at least the vendor does............ |

Georgia, west of Atlanta | Oh and by the way, I found out the Kingpin kit is still offered. It includes the heel toe shifter and floorboards for $499.00. Expensive but floorboards do cost money. My point is someone is still making the shifter...........Just sell that please...........

Central Illinois | Watch the attachment points for those shifters. The one piece and the heel add-on piece are made for different models that fit the shifter shaft differently. Only one of them will work for any particular bike. Forget styling and get the one that will work for you. |

| I prefer the one monkeyman shows because the heel doesn't take up floorboard space. the heel part sets between the motor and floorboard |

Manchester, CT | Hey Banjodan! Does the shifter that Victory sells in its accessory catalogue take away floorboard space? |

Peru, IN | Tom --- The heel shifter that fits your '13 Vision takes up almost zero heel space. I've had mine on for almost 3k miles and haven't missed a shift yet. The one piece unit XRsteve shows won't fit your Vision. Kewlmetal (I think) makes one that fits the later model Vision (plus the X bikes) that looks similar to the one that fits the early Visions with a larger toe peg and a heel peg. I haven't seen that in person, just pics. It looks nice but the OEM version looks a bit more stealth. |

Bella Vista, AR | I put the Vision heel/toe on my bike, and hated it. There is no way to adjust it without either the toe or heel being too high IMO. I took the heel peg off, and had round pegs made out of aluminum round stock and knurled to replace the toe and heel pegs, as well as the brake peg. My heel peg is only 1", so it uses minimal floorboard space. Looks good and works much better for me. |

| I have a 2011 and would like to try the heel toe due to nerve damage in my right foot. But I really don't think the small bolt on is worth $100. I will keep an eye out for a used one. |

Bella Vista, AR | The idea was mine, but the actual work was done by a coworker who has the access to a lathe, and the skill to use it, two things I am lacking. I like 'em, especially for what I've got in 'em. |
