Has anyone here purchased Victory's heel/toe shifter and then realized they don't like it? and then wanted the toe shifter bank on? I am considering popping on the $165 bling, but the Vision actually shifts pretty easily as she sits.

The heel/toe shifter is one of the best things I put on my Vision

Had mine put on when I bought the bike. 30,000 miles later I am still very happy with it.

I love having the option of the heel shifter. Mine is bit unusual since I do not have a peg or the stock heel part on the heel end of the shifter.

This leaves the whole floorboard available and if I want to heel shift I just put my heel on top of the shift lever and press.

I have a thread on the install click below.

I've got the 165 dollar heel toe shifter, only had it about two weeks but LOVE it. I used to have to change into "riding boots" to keep my regular boots from getting messed up. Not anymore. And it doesn't get in the way if I want to move my feet around.

WELL worth it and I'm upset at myself for not getting it when I GOT the bike.

Go for it.

I had one on my old Harley UltraClassic and didn't like how much room it took up on the floorboards, so I cut down the back one to about an inch long and got my floorboards back. Still worked fine for shifting and it's a good thing I had it cause my front shifter vibrated off one ride and it was all I had. Dont have the $$ for one on the Vision right now, but I will be cutting it down as well when I get one.

I love mine. At first I thought the heel part was going to be way too small and too close to the transmission to work, but, it's actually a great design. The heel part takes up none of the floor board space and it is very easy to shift.

Beware, it seems the fit is extremely tight and some people have had to use a press or hammer to get it installed. I took a Dremel to mine and just barely shaved off the inside where it goes onto the pivot post.

I love mine. I don't use it all the time but it is a very nice option to have.

Hello DRDecay if you want the heel toe shifter so I could buy it you need one the problem is that I'm from Spain and I would immediately send operation if you are interested in answer me because here is too expensive to buy that part. I'm also thinking in trying to adapt the change of the heel of my 2011 model is 2008 and if it may not make a greeting

I actually bought mine, while I was waiting for my Vision to be delivered! I had it in hand before I was riding the bike.

I love it.

You can install the Model 2011 lever to the model 2010 or earlier would be a matter of making holes in the lever and screw, it is possible that I say

Has anyone done this? Sounds simple enough. Add a little Loc-tite RED and should be good to go 100K
