• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

F3 Heel Toe Shifter

I am not a fan of toe shifting, I think maybe too many years riding Harleys but I love H/T shifting. So I gathered up some parts and this is the result.

Well done..!!

looks great and nicely done. Not a fan of the heel toe but If I were this would work for me...:2thumbs::clap:
 
The last couple two wheelers I had, both had H/T shifting. I liked it a lot. Could always push down to shift. The lift up thing was painful for me.

Great idea for :ani29:. Did not find anything good for my 2008 GS SM5.
 
This shifter was made from Harley parts I got off eBay. From Drag Specialties, part# 1602-0873. This is a shift shaft lever for 83-06 FLH. Search eBay for Harley heel/toe shift arms for an FLH.. I was pretty sure it would work but wasn't ready to cut up gear shift lever so I ordered the following from BRP. Gear Shift Lever #707001475 @ $29.99, Bearing, need two, #705600458 @ $14.99 ear, Washer #503192496 @ $1.04. I cut the top of the shift lever off and drilled hole for shift shaft, you want this to be a tight fit. In retrospect I would not cut the shift shaft till after it is welded. It is very difficult to weld it straight without having something to help hold the shaft. After you have completed the welding install the bearings. Should you not want to purchase the BRP parts be aware when you weld on the shifter it gets very hot and you need to keep the bearings as cool as you can.
 
Nice of you to share all of that detailed information ;) Good job.
