FLOOR BOARD/HEEL TOE SHIFTER

[blackvalk]

I found an ad in RIDER magazine for RIVCO floor boards with heel toe shifter and brake lever.

My question is, has anyone tried this and how is it, and does it work with the Corbin hard bags that I have on order.

I have heel toe shift on my 1998 Valkyrie and would love to have it on my 2014.

F6gal has them on hers.  There is a link somewhere on here that shows them on her bike.  She will probably pipe up and maybe throw in a picture of them.

Put heel toe shifter and floor boards on mine.  The only problem I've found is if you don't wear cowboy boots it is impossible to get your toe under the shifter.  I ride in boots so no prob for me.  Theses bikes have a little problem with the tranny and they will ghost shift if you are not aggressive when shifting.  The Honda dealership warned me that on gold wings they are seeing tranny problems from bikes with heel toe shifters.

Which brand did you buy? I see Kuryakan and Rivco have a product.

I seldom if ever put my toe under the front shifter when I ride. I would use the heel if I want to upshift.

I'm not sure which company I should order from.

I used the Kuryakyn setup on my Valkyrie.  You have to flip them up to get the kickstand down or buy/make a kickstand extension.  Other than that they're perfect.  Mine shifts fine and finding neutral is easy.  I would recommend a set, they're much more comfortable to me than the factory pegs.  Although I haven't owned a bike without floorboards in over ten years so I felt out of place using the pegs

I bought just the Kuryakyn 4039 Heel-Toe Shifter and used a set of mini boards that I had laying around.  Getting at the kickstand is a breaze with them.
