Hi folks- new to the Valkyrie scene and love the bike. I’m looking to put a heel toe shifter on it and are there any quality makes shifters available or is it possible to adapt one from a gold wing or other bike. Thanks in advance for any and all advice on this.

Please - I think I could use one too !!!

I moved my stock one up a notch or 2 or 3 so my foot would fit better under it. Well, it did, and the new position works better for upshifting, not so well for downshifting.

Good low price alternative.

I've got a rattlebars, some other make I can't remember and I did 2 of these.  All work great.

Thanks again Ken  cooldude

I briefly owned a "Rattlebars Kick Shifter".  A lot of guys liked it.  The man who sold me my bike in 2011 gave me one, new in the box.  Interesting idea, but it didn't improve my own riding experience.  Maybe my feet are too big.  It was easy to sell on eBay.  I don't see any new ones available.

You can look at this one and get an idea of how it works.  It could be installed on a Valkyrie without modifying the shifter or the bike,

That's the link I emailed to him.

I have the Chrome World unit made for the GW and it works well.  There is a link to the forum post that describes it above.  Can't beat the cost.
