Does anyone have a Rattlebars kick shifter for a Valk they are not using and want to sell? My ankle “situation” has convinced me to look into one. I looked on Ratlebars web site and found they are holding for 15 to be requested prior to beginning production of the shifters. I will put my name on their list as soon as the site reopens on the 28th, but would like to have one as soon as possible. Answer here or PM with details. Thanks in advance.

The Cyclepartsusa look nice, but I am too short to use floorboards. Floorboards force me to put my feet to far outboard from the bike. That is why I am looking for a kiclshifter I can use with the standard foot peg on my IS. Hey! Maybe I could get some '70s platform shoes!

I'm thinking about placing an order for the shifter although it seems orders aren't being taken 'til after the 29th.

I will too, but just trying to find one sooner. There are 3 on order now so you and I will make it 5.

Thanks John!  I put in a bid on them, and I'll see what happens. I've heard mostly positive things about the Rattlebars unit, so I will still try to get a new one of them. For now however, these might fill the bill.

No problem.... and good luck. After closer look, it appears that the Ebay ones might be the Cyclepartsusa ones but the floorboards were cut or something ???? Not sure. I do have Rattlebars and it is nice.... but I have Cobra floorboards as well. My VTX has a heel/toe shifter with floorboards and I have really gotten used to the shifter and boards..... good thing I plan on keeping these bikes for awhile.
