The heel/toe shifter is one of the reasons why I like so much my Street Glide. It is so easy to change gear, gives that classic feeling when riding and doesn't damage your shoes. I will have somebody manufacture one for my Bonneville T100 similar to the Honda SS50 or Honda Dax. I love it so much. For me this is a downgraded.

Agreed. I bought my first Harley in 2001 and within 5 miles I fell in love with the heel/toe shifter. No doubt Delboy has some great skills and did a fantastic job on this elimination, but for me it would also be a downgrade.

Heads up for the bike owner, spend $100 and replace that shift linkage. The linkage ends have a press joint that has a plastic contact point that will wear out eventually. The replacement units are heim joint.

I prefer the heel shifter, easy to use as well as saves my boot. Plus the boots I wear are steel toe boots so its hard toe shifting, getting the boot under the lever.

I do love these videos but I did find this one to be a bit less than what I'm used to seeing. These spacers have been being made by dozens of companies including Harley for decades and they can be purchased from anywhere from $10.00 to $40. in hundreds of designs and materials. For people who enjoy a heel shift but have large feet there are also shifter levers made at different lengths and angles. The rubber spacer is there to eliminate rattle from metal to metal contact. I understand that in the video a plastic or Delrin was used but if you chose a metal spacer you will quickly realize why the rubber was needed.

Nice job on the lathe turning Del! LOTS of folks take off the heel shift lever immediately upon puchasing a bike. If i buy one that doesnt have a heel shifter, i add one. Different strokes! But, i enjoy watching ALL your videos. And....its nice when i recognize my old plate hangin on your wall! And the rain.......im sure not gettin in much riding. Its rained a BUNCH over here in Kansas, U.S.A.! Itll stop eventually!

Didn't know modern day bikes still have heal toe shifters. I had a Honda 90 many moons ago and that was a real pain in the neck to shift with work boots on! That engineering grade plastic is amazing stuff DeI I remember ( showing my age now lol) when Canon started bringing out pro spec film SLR's made out of this type of plastic there was such an out-roar with professional photographers everywhere when they had been so used to brass, magnesium and titanium in their construction. But there's progress for you and now its the norm. By the way I bought a couple of pro cameras back in the day made of this type of plastic and the amount of the abuse I gave them they never let me down! Who says you cant put a modern twist on a Classic bike good work Del.

On my Road Glide, I took an alternate path: installed extra-long floorboards for my clodhoppers and complemented them with overlength shifters. I use my heel shifter when I’m wearing dress boots, and on one large group ride, rescued a Dyna rider who’d lost his shifter peg by scavenging my rear peg and putting it on his bike, to get him back to the dealership.

The heal toe shifter seems very natural to me but I do have it adjusted so the heal part sits very low.

Hats off to you, I think hand shifting a bike is a real rare skill now, probably because so few people have ever done it. and i too would love an old lathe with lever shift gears, maybe twice the size of mine... but any time i look they cost more then a new bike..

@@Moonfleet41 I been looking for a small lathe and I would love a small mill but every one I find I can't afford. I use to have access to my cousin's real nice machine shop and his expertise. I still like tank shift bikes. It does put you in the habit of not using the front brake. The front brakes on those old bikes were drums front and rear and were more like anti stop brakes than todays anti lock brakes.

@@ejdtm Yes of course, that's easy enough, copy Paul's design, it doesn't have to be exact but making it from say 3mm sheet metal, run it down beside the board and then pop it up over the back as he does, he's got the design right, no need to change it, and it's probably patented too!

Del, good skills sir!!. One thing I would of done though, a flat metal washer between the engine casing and the spacer. Reason being, won't the plastic spacer wear away with the moment against the casing where as,, if there was a washer there it would rotate with it without the spacer rubbing against it? . Food for thought!! 😎👍🏍
@Moonfleet41
@Moonfleet41 3 жыл бұрын
Not at all Nick, in fact that would be completely counter productive, this Delrin product is tough and resilient, and is actually used in many applications to prevent wear, and there is wear, because the shaft is sloppy in it's mounting hole and the spacer keeps it straight, so there are bearing forces in play here, which is why I expanded the wider end to the full width of the casting on the engine to give a greater bearing area and machined the inside to fit the shaft perfectly... it now holds it dead straight and takes out all the slop, so the cost of that is potentially wear to the engine casting and a washer rubbing on it would cause that over time, as would a metal version of the spacer, so purely the reason I chose Delrin in the first place mate...
