Does anyone have the Kuryakyn heel-toe shifter for the Valkyrie that was made near the late 90's? There was an identical one made for the goldwings of that era also. If anyone has one they would like to part with, I would be interested in getting another one.

Is the one for the gl1500 goldwing the same thing? I REALLY want one for my bike I think the MC one is ugly and the rattle bars one is hard to find, too.

Rattlebars has a production run of the kickshifet . Here's the latest staus:  http://www.rattlebars.com/cart/pindex.html

I think the rattlebars shifter is the best.  Relo kit is also in production now.

Lot of fellow riders on the board like the Rattlebars shifter. If you can get one of those, that would be good. I have never used one, but the Kury shifter is out of production and hard to find. I just happen to have bought an extra one with the bracket that goes over the rider footrest pin missing. I have also adapted and installed this extra one on  my Tourer with a bolt and chrome spacers bolted to the triangle chrome piece that holds the driver foot peg.

Do you have any pics of your mod to the Kury shifter?
Thanks!

Sorry for the delayed post. There are two chrome spacers, first one is 1/2" and the second is 1" wide. This allows the shifter mechanism to be away from the triangle bracket the correct distance. Drilled the bracket for 3/8" bolt and lock nut. Install and tighten to hold the shifter in place. The shifter linkage is not in place in the picture because I have not yet rethreaded the end that is shortened.

No problem! Thank you!

99 red diamond,  Are you looking for the shifter that will fit the Goldwing or the Valkyrie? I have a couple for the Valk.

Thanks, I was looking for the black cast iron bracket that attaches to the rider footrest. I have since come up with a way to install the shifter onto the chrome triangle bracket that holds the footrest and also completed the installation. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks.  Yes.  11 folks have not responded to our invoice.  Check the link above if you have a shifter or a relo kit on back order and have not heard from us.

No, they are out of production, if you continue to look, you may find  one a member is selling. Check the posts, I think "Big Mike" has a couple of these.

I just got my new Rattlebars shifter installed a couple of days ago.  It took me all of five minutes of riding to get accustomed to using it!  I LOVE IT! cooldude cooldude
