Looked at the pic on Victory's web site: Looks to me like it is just a Kingpin shifter with an attachment for the rear peg mount that is flush with the peg hole so as not to interfere with the foot room on
floorboard. That's what I was going to do with the original Kingpin shifter, but thought I'd wait for a "proper" version for the Vision. Does anybody know different, or did Victory offer a makeshift heel-toe shifter? (pun intended) I think it should be longer in the rear dimension!

Think it is the kingpin shifter, I have had my on since nov. with no problems at all, shifts smooth and works great.

Ordered parts last Friday. Had one on my Honda years ago & really liked it. Why did I wait so long to convert my Vis? Just tired of working my big boot toe under the shifter peg!

Will post pics & impression once it's installed.

I have the heel toe shifter and ordered the longer pegs from J&P Cycles. With the extended peg on the brake you have a better feel for the brake it seems to me.

dealer said this is the kingpin heel toe shifter modified. had it mounted. could use a little more room. should be longer to the rear. other than that works fine.

Was informed yesterday that the KingPin heel-toe shifter that I ordered LAST WEEK is now a DISCONTINUED PART. ..... What the f%&k!?.... What do KingPin owners do when they break theirs & want a replacement??
