    I think I read somewhere that Show Chrome might be a sponsor on this forum? I'm happy to show support where I can, but I also want the best and most comfortable. Thanks for your time!

    I bought the kuryakyn and love it! It felt awkward with the toe shifter. I got to where I was keeping my boot lower to be able to up shift. The day I drug my boot in a turn I pulled the trigger and wished I had done it sooner.

    I agree about the awkwardness, Xrider. Did you purchase the whole floorboard setup, or just the shifter? Have you had any trouble with any of the linkages like some of the posters warn about? Thanks for your time.

    Always preferred the heel/toe shifter. Bought the Kury for my 2016 F6BD. Works very well with no issues. I still have driver pegs (always have had footboards but these pegs are surprisingly comfortable and a nice change). No install conflicts with foot pegs, side stand, et.al. as mentioned earlier.

    I just bought the shifter and break lever for the other side. I like a larger break pedal. No problems so far but I don’t stomp on the upshift. I just apply enough pressure to get into gear. Before I would occasionally miss shifts because my boot was pushing up on the shifter constantly.
