This shows the Heel-Toe addition with a 2-ring pedal to match the our 2-Ring Gearshift dress-up for the stock Honda gearshift.
Part# HTAM & Part# HT2AM
Please note this 2-Ring will NOT fit the stock Toe shifter as the internal hole is much smaller and it has no CNC-machining on it. Click here to see the 2-Ring and 3-Ring dress-up for the stock Honda Toe shifter.

  Crisp easy shifts are now a reality.
   
  Installation takes UNDER 10 minutes using a couple of wrenches.
   
  As always we provide fully detailed instructions for fitting the shifter.
   
 
We have had some inquiries from guys with floorboards asking if the heel-toe will work with them. The answer is probably. This view shows the heel-shifter in the "rest" position where it spends most of it's time while riding.

Although a little dark and hard to see, the measurement shown is from the gearshift mounting pivot bolt. The Heel-toe rotates around this point so that should give you an idea if there will be enough room for this to work with your floorboards.

If you are including the the 2 or 3-ring dress up, they are 1" diameter so you will need to reduce that dimension by another half-inch plus a little clearance.

Providing there is sufficient room for the heel-shifter to move down behind the floorboard then this should work OK.
In the
TOE-down-shifting position, the arm of the heel-shifter almost touches the engine casing.
In the
HEEL-down-shifting position, the arm of the heel-shifter almost touches the foot peg-plate mounting post welded on the frame.
   
 

To assist with the installation, this is what the assembled Honda stock shifter and the Heel-toe shifter should look like when ready to reinstall the assembly on the motorcycle. The stainless steel bolt and nut are used to adjust the position of the Heel-toe lever evenly between the frame and the engine casing.

   
 

Installation Note!
We have had a small number of reports that the stock Honda gearshift has some pretty excessive lumps of weld in the vicinity of the hood section of the Heel-toe shifter. (

If the welding interferes with the mounting of the Heel-toe shifter, it may require some filing (or careful grinding) of the hood section to clear the excessive welding. The filing should not be obvious when the installation is complete.

 

 

Good Vibrations...

These bikes vibrate really freely so a thread lock agent is not a luxury, it should be mandatory every time you assemble things on any Motorcycle.

This bottle will last for a long time considering it only takes a drop on the threads to make it stick. We can't tell you how many drops there are in the bottle, but it MUST be a LOT!!

We stock the Red and Blue thread lock.
(Actual threadlock supplied may differ from items shown here)

Red is the strongest and if applied correctly, it requires about 250+ degree heat to loosen. We have had success using a hair dryer for this purpose when disassembling. A paint stripping heat gun could also be used,
BUT great care must be exercised so you DO NOT DAMAGE paint
in the same area, as these guns can get to
900 degrees and more.
Blue is for frequently disassembled parts and only requires normal tools and a little extra pressure to loosen. Often though oil and water can degrade the locking strength a little and that's why we also offer the Red as it has a much stronger grip, but requires more effort to remove it when you need to.

   
  PLEASE NOTE
THE HEEL-TOE SHIFTER CANNOT BE USED WITH OUR GEARSHIFT EXTENDER INSTALLED. If you are currently using our gearshift extender, it will have to be removed before fitting the Heel-Toe.

WHY?
The Heel-toe shifter requires the stock Honda gearshift mounting point and the gearshift extender moves that mounting point forward by an inch or an inch-and-a-half. Click here for the Gearshift Extender page
   
  IT CAN BE USED WITH OUR FOOTPEG EXTENDERS
(click here for the Footpeg Extenders page)

but

We have had some reports of our Heel-Toe
NOT
working with OTHER BRAND footpeg extenders.
