    Yes, SeaSteve, I have corrected it, you are right, it is the handlebar.

    I have a set for sale, it is not so aggressive as the Helibar in height and lateral, but great for the person who just needs a little bit, and the price is a fraction of the Helibar.

    Unfortunately...According to another forum..."Dan S. from DHS Racing passed away unexpectedly last (year) at age 58." The website isn't available anymore and I don't think anyone would have a spare DHS modified sifter linkage to sell you.

    You can watch this YouTube Video to see the linkage basic setup with the left exhaust header cover removed. At the left side, where the left fingers are pointing, is the location of the OEM adjustable spline. You loosen the clamp screw AND remove the large hex bolt in the middle of the video frame to pull the entire linkage out from the bike. Obviously, you slide it back on to the spline at a different location on the spline teeth to raise or lower the shifter peg.

    You may also need to remove some of the metal material from the back of the "center" pivot point to clear the grove on the engine. Two years ago I was fortunate to buy the adjustable linkage from DHS and spoke with David then on the phone. He asked if I had "already" filed down the shifter so people do this regularly.

    What DaWadd said, mini boards, drop them and it gives you some space.

    I know, have a size 15, wide, and use combat boots, easy peasy.

    Let me add this to it, I had Dan's DHS shift links, and they were good, had them on 2 F6B's, however now I have this mini floorboard on the current F6b and no DHS, and my feet fit fine.

    But as you have seen posted some folks hate them, some love them, try it, you can always sell them .

    I don't think I would have lead with "The shift lever sucks on this thing". LOL. Just kidding. I purchased my '13 F6B last year and love it.

    the mini floor boards have the "3/4 " comfort drop" , i didn't use the floor boards, there are replacement foot pegs that fit, that "drop" helps for me

    Yep, I did the same thing and solved my problem with my size 16 boot fitting under the shift lever!

    the guy who invented the second one... he was the genius!
