I'm hoping someone out there does not like using their heel shifter and would consider selling?

Looking for a heel shifter

What model do you have? The shaft used for the heel shifter is different to the one use for normal toe shifter.

Thank you dirkster. I did get one from another member on this forum recently.
I wear dress shoes to work. Without the heel shifter, the toe shifter scuffs up my shoes.

What is the heal shifter suppose to do in this case?
Heal the leather from the ugly scuffs?

Cal boy, you upshift with the top of your toe. I upshift with the bottom of my heel.
In case you didn’t know, people see the top of your shoe, not the bottom.

Relax! I have a heel-toe shifter on my R18 and I had one on four or five other cruisers too.
I prefer to have a heel-toe shifter for comfort and easiness of shifting but just on cruisers.
I'm not even sure they're made for any crotch rockets or dual sport bikes.
It was a joke based on your misspelling of the word "heel", but obviously you didn't get it.
All in good humor though.
