HEAL/TOE SHIFTER WITH KURY WINGS?

[KW]

Can anyone give me an idea on what heal/toe shifter will fit with the Kury Wings? I can’t fit my fat foot under the shifter to up shift. . .  I think a heal/toe is the answer, but I’m worried about finding the right one that will fit. It seems like I may need some type of relocated as well?
Thanks!

Get Chet's kickshifter, move the actual shifter 1 tooth on the transmission stem and you should be good to go.  There is also another model Honda bike that some have used with their shifter.   Seems like it was a ST1000, but don't hold me to that.

The other heel/toe shifters on the market, IMHO, made me do too much searching for the shifter when going up or down the gears.

Besides Rattlebars kick-shift, the only other available heel-toe shifter for Valk is the MC Enterprises setup which comes with big clunky floorboards as a set for about $475 plus.  The plus on these is they are good for large feet as they have more room between the heel and toe shifter points.  they will reduce lean angle.

The old Kuryakyn heel-toe shifter for Valk has not been available (except used) since about 2005.  I have the Rattlebars kick shift on two ISs.

I'd get on this list for a kick shift, if you can't find used from Pinwall.

Whatever you use, RJ's right, you can get a little more space for your foot on the OE shifter by taking it off and moving it on the splines.  But don't do it if you are going to mount a kick-shifter.

KW:
I have wings on my standard and had the same problem as you. I moved the
shift lever up one notch on the stem and I slightly angled the left foot peg
downward and I have no problems shifting now. I have a rattlebars shifter
on my I/S and love it; but this was an inexpensive way to solve the problem
on my standard.

the other model Honda to which RJ is referring is the 1100XX Blackbird shifter. 
I have the Kuryakyn heel-toe and love it.  It did take some trial and error adjusting it to fit  my foot relative to the travel of the shifter rod, which made me have to search for gears like RJ said.    The Kury is pretty scarce, but worth the search IMO.

Thanks Gear Jammer, you da man.

After I saw what ya posted, I remembered the Blackbird.

Alph has a H/T shifter with the kury wings on his Interstate. Maybe he can get you the name of his and a picture...

There are actually 2 places on the shifter where you can make adjustments.  Lay on the floor and look under there.  Oh, and I tipped the front of my ISO wing on the left side slightly downwards.  Problem solved.  Take a look at this diagram, you can see the 2 points of adjustment.

OOps, thought I did guess not far enough.

I never knew about the 2nd point. Learned something here too.
