Once you get used to one, and you like it, 'toe clickin' up through the gears seems like a lotta work!Originally Posted by BubbaJePH
Once you get used to one, and you like it, 'toe clickin' up through the gears seems like a lotta work!
I had a heel/toe on my VTX/R for over 100,000 miles and loved it, it was a custom rig made by Lee's Forwards in SoCal and was raised, moved forward, and tilted just for my leg length, and was the most comfortable set of controls I have ever had. I hope the OP reports back on how well the Kury H/T shifter worked with the mini boards, I would be interested as I find the toe up shift a PIA with soft shoes on, and I hate to change into boots for a quick trip to dinner or the dealer.
Ya bought a Honda....why the hell you going to the "dealer"?
Good Point, let's see, new helmet, bike cover, helmet for the spouse (that one took 2 hoursYa bought a Honda....why the hell you going to the "dealer"?
) show off all the new accessories, oh yea, sold my enclosed trailer to the salesman. Anyway my point was the tennis shoes are crap for a toe shifter.
I have the Kury toe heel shifter and floor board package on my bike. It works great. I got used to the TH shifter on my VTX1800N. Once you get used to them it is hard to go back. I enjoy the bike much more with this setup.

When I ordered the Kury H/T shifter, I thought about going 'all in' with the Kury full board/ H/T shifter package. (Or the Rivco's) As I already had the Kury mini B's, and like the 'tilt' feature, I opted for the H/T only,,, At least for now!
It may be a while before I get to test out my new set-up,,, I just sent our seats to RDL a couple days ago,,, Probably be the end of the month before they get back.
(Thought about strappin a big pillow on the bike in the meantime, but,,,,,,,,,,,,, NAH!!!!)
I have a 'Rattlebars' (they are no longer around) heel toe shifter on my Valkyrie and love it. I have not put one on the F6B and not sure If I will or not. A different riding position on each bike and the toe shifting of the F6B seems to be ok, the Valk was harder to shift because of riding position so the heel toe shifter was a must.
Finally installed the heel toe, Got it on and decided I might prefer just the heel part, so I pulled the 'toe' peg off and plan on using the 1 inch 'nub' to down shift so I don't have to raise my toes as high. (I'm a lazy shifter, LOL!!!) I may put the toes peg back on, dunno yet,,
Mini boards are tilted forward slightly, and I still have room enough to 'hook' a size 12 heel over the back of the board w/o hitting the heel shifter.
NO ROAD TESTING DONE as I have no seat! (LOL!)
Kick stand is somewhat between the heal shifter and board when raised. Not impossible to lower by any means, but one might want to watch what they were doing vs blindly stompin down 'in the general vicinity'.

U moved the pegs out and down, u will be Scraping pegs a lot earlier in the turn !
Not saying u don't know this just saying in case u had not Thought of it.
I took mine off because the wife freaks every time this happens !
Out for sure, never checked down.
I never have scraped the mini boards before. (my toes, yes, boards no)
I always ride solo, and I'm a pretty mellow rider. (A lot of me is lazy, not just my toes!)
If scrapin becomes a problem, I might consider 'standard' adapters for the boards ISO the drop mounts. (Kury 8808, I believe)
Really need to wait until my seat arrives before I can fine tune the rest of the bike
