Heel or Toe Shiftng, which is better?

[Fishbein]

I use heel shift always..no problems here..

Good to hear Rkt88. I actually preferred the heel shifter ever since I got my 1st Touring in '08. Just trying to avoid issues, but sounds like I can ride as usual. I had no problem for 19K miles or so.

Makes sense, GPM; whatever is comfortable lets u put the miles on.

I despised the heel shifter when I added the floorboards so I installed a shifter from a Speed Four. No linkage.

Long time Tdragger. Good to hear from you. Still flyin' planes?

Yeah, good to hear from you, too, Fish. Congrats on the new bike.

Not flying anymore, unfortunately. Costs too much nowadays. Do my flying at a much lower altitude now.

I cut the heel shifter off on my Classic 2007. So much better to be able to use the floorboard to its capacity. Also just to use the intuitive toe shifting alone was a god thing for me at least.

Well said Tdragger. Good to see you here Zenbiker. Is this a reunion?
