Title: Heel/Toe Shifter
Post by SagCalif on 08/31/09 at 09:32:49

Having mangled my ankle a few years ago, I sometimes have trouble shifting when it is bothering me. I was telling a co-worker about it and he told his son who came up with a heel/toe shifter for me. Here are some pictures of my bike with the heel/toe shifter.

Great info here for riders with all sorts of limitations:

More info from the AMA:

If any of us meet anyone with limitations who'd like to ride, let them know about these sites.

Any chance you could do some larger closeup pictures on the heel toe setup? Anybody that has floorboards on their bike knows that heel-toe's are much easier to use with floorboards. I've been wanting to do it but haven't had a good idea how other than welding another arm on somewhere.

My Suzuki 1500 came with floorboards and heel toe shifter,I never use it and even forgot it had it for a couple years.

To get the pics bigger, hold down on "Control" & hit the + key repeatedly.

I scrape my pegs every now an then, I don't think I could ride the Savage with floor boards without rasing up the suspension for more clearance some how.
