Do you have the part number for that? The one that I ordered is NOT what we thought it would be.
Thanks in advance! |

San Antonio, TX | Please post some pictures of the shifter installed. The picture in the 2009 catalog is horrible.
After it is installed let us know what you think. The heel part looks very short. |

Brighton, TN | az rob - just looked at your site, wow. Just wondering, I got a couple of things I need to throw on a CNC machine and then clean it up. What time is good for you? Man to have a whole shop and custom build whatever I wanted, oh the times would be fun. Seems you could make what you wanted. I know you gotta make the dollar but on Break, Oh boy! |

Tavares, Fl | There is a guy in Ohio that is making a dual toe shifter for the Harleys. Its unusual, if I can find the brochure I'll try and copy a picture of it and paste it. Basically its the factory toe shifter with another above and outside of it eliminating the heel shifter, leaving the foot board open. To downshift you just have to move your toe up and outside the factory shifter and push down.. Would anyone be interrested if it can be made to fit the Victory???? |

In all seriousness...I can't even imagine this. A pic would be great.
I read this a couple of times and can't figure out why you would move your foot out and up to downshift. Do you mean "up" shift? |

Tavares, Fl | You,re right its to upshift. This is the first bike I have ever had that the top of my left shoe is constantly black from the shifter. |

Brighton, TN | I thought the black on the top of my left boot was like a tattoo letting others know your a biker. I always thought that's the way its supposed to be |

Tavares, Fl | Check out his website at www.NewWayShifter.com . I don't know if he can make it work on the Vision or not, its something I saw at a ride this summer..... |

Fargo, ND | I don't think a Vision shakes bad enough for that shifter to work properly... |

Tucson, AZ | At 350 bucks a pop for those shifters, although pretty cool, id rather go for a ride, get a motel and a meal or 2 and ride some more. No telling when or if a Vision model will be made. Just my opinion...

Tavares, Fl | That was my thinking when I saw it at a show. I can do a lot of toe shifting for that amount. |

Not bad at all, a bit different than others I have had, but very doable.

Good to hear seeing as I just had it installed. Had someone else P/U from the dealer so I have not had a chance to ride it yet. |
