Cicero, Indiana | Does anyone other than victory offer a heal toe shifter for a 2010 vision? I have it on my venture and love it and want one for the new bike. |

| I miss it from my Venture as well. I have nerve damage in that foot so I don't shift quite hard enough sometimes. Waiting to get a little more riding in and hoping to sit on one with the heel/toe. I hate dropping 80-100 bucks for this though. |

| The factory shifter isn't cheap but it's well made,looks nice and the fit is outstanding. I've used Hondas and Harleys on their bikes and this one is better,hands down. |

Perry Hall, MD | Have not seen an aftermarket option.
Love mine, although, as with others on here have offered, I added an extension to bring the toe portion down to where I wanted it. |

Columbia, SC | It's not TOO bad a price, but well worth it. I love the heel toe shifter, and, personally, I think it should be standard on this bike.

Cicero, Indiana | The victory heel toe shifter is $200 and it is nicely made but the heel part doesn't stick out much. I guess I'm used to the venture were he back is like the front. |

Perry Hall, MD | Takes one ride to get use to it. Probably the same for when you used any HT shifter for the first time. The only thing you need to adjust to is getting over the notion that the design requires you to reach for it. If you do, you will end up rubbing the engine. Just use it the way that you are already accustomed to and you won't miss a shift. |

Beer Collins, Colorado (there is no fort) | I'd like a heel shifter peg integrated into my existing foot shifter that can be folded up out of the way when cruising for max foot room (I wear a 15E boot) and flipped down with your heel for use in town when your shiftin' a lot-I missed mine from the TC for a while but when I rode my 99C yesterday I forgot it was even there so it's not a big deal. |

San Antonio, TX | I have the older heal toe shifter on my Vision. I did not install a peg in the rear position. I just turn my heel in and press down on the shifter. I guess I should fill in the hole someday. |

It's VERY far out of the way and I can use the whole footboard without worrying about hitting it. I also set it so it is JUST above parallel with the footboard so when I hit it with my heel, it becomes almost even with it while shifting. This keeps it very low and out of the way. I like it.
