Just curious what the going rate is on Rattlebars Kickshifters. I put one for sale in the classifieds for $125 including shipping in the US and haven't gotten any takers. Perhaps they aren't as scarce to come by as I thought?

Thanks for any advice.

Sold one a couple years back with a custom peg for slightly more,  if I remember correctly.   Not much, tho.

That seems like a fair price to me, I've certainly seen them higher.

I think they remain relatively scarce.

I think heel-toe shifters are something Valk riders either want or won't have.  Most guys who try them after decades of toe shifting don't like them and go back.  And those of us who won't ride without them, have already had them a long time.

Both mine came from Rattlebars, at retail. 

And they don't wear out, though that reminds me, the Honda toe rubbers on both mine are FUBAR and need replaced.  The electrical tape ain't cutting it.   Grin

If I needed one, I'd pay what I had to to get one.

With my short legs, I positively hate upshifting with a toe.  I have to change my seating position to do it.

There's a method to make a Goldwing heel toe shifter work, but I am not into multiple spacers and trial and error.  I'm into plug and play.

It may take awhile.
