The last straw - I cut off the heel section of my shift lever!

Adios!

With my size 13 boots, I knew I had to change something about the shift lever if I was going to be happy with the Trail. My legs are so long that I really couldn't even comfortably bring my foot back far enough to heel shift if I wanted to.

So, I bent the shifter inward like many of you have, and that worked really well...until I tried to install the Revolution passenger pegs which mount on top of the swingarm bolt plates,
so THEN I had to either bend the heel BACK outwards again or say goodbye to it once and for all...



Actually super happy with how it turned out. I also have the G Craft shift spline support, and the shifting is light, snappy, and now looks very clean to me.

Nice, the damn thing keeps getting caught on my pants!

Nice clean work! I'm cutting mine off too, as soon as I get the new one from the recall.

Been thinking about doing that myself. Accidentally shifted up when I didn't want to while standing up over some rough ground.

I lopped mine off. Will never look back.
That and removing the kickstarter, two free ergo mods that improve the bike drastically especially for standup tight work.

Need a little more height out of the bars next.

I lopped mine off too. Not sure I’m going to bother with the recall.
