I bought a Rattle Bars Shifter from Big Mike at Valkyrie Bling. He stated that it was a used shifter in good shape. I told him I'd take it and it showed up about a week ago. I was VERY pleased with the condition.  I think he understated the condition when he described it. It has all the parts and looks new.
I rode about 100 miles in town with it and have decided it's not me.
I am selling it for $175.00, same as I was charged. That includes shipping.
You all know what one looks like, but if you have to see it I'll try to figure out this new phone and send a pic to your e-mail.

  That's a heck of deal for someone.
I was looking for one and paid $275.00 plus shipping in January. I did see them "LISTED" as high as $350.00 Certainly not worth that much, or as much as I paid but I wanted one before they were no longer available. Mine was new condition, original packaging & directions.
Thanks for offering us a fair deal cooldude

I bought mine from Jeff K. He had some made for him and had some extras. I love it, but your right, it's not for everyone.

Thanks Jack for thinking of us enough to offer it for what you paid.  When I bought mine I am pretty sure I paid $100 new from Rattlebars plus shipping.  That tells you how long I have had it and still love it.  I have to relearn how Honda designed the shifter when I ride Iris's bike that does not have one.  The Rocket III has a heel/toe shifter also.
That would be a good price for someone that wants to try one out.

I loved the heel/toe shifter that I had on the VTX 1300. It's not as though I haven't put miles on a bike with one. I'm just not getting along with this one.
I'll leave it up here for another day or two before posting on the main board.

I'd say you are running it with EOM Pegs, right?

Borrow a floor board from someone and then ride it.

I'd say you will like it a lot better.    I have Cobra boards on MGM, had the boards ever since Cobra started making them.   Got one of the 1st batch of Chet's heel/toe shifters.    Still using the washers for spacers.

My foot is on the board, and my foot rotates, top over or heel over, depending on what I want to do, shift up or shift down.     In 180K, I have not missed a shift, normal, slow or full throttle ones.      Before the heel/toe, I was always missing 2nd gear in a drag race or a light to light run.

And you don't like the shifter with the boards?

If I can get personal now, what size shoe do you wear or boot?
