Uncomfortable with heal toe shifter

[Condor]

Lest it appear that everyone is unhappy with the heel/toe shifter: I use mine all the time. I haven't stuck my toe under the shifter to pull up since I moved from a First Gen to a Second. In fact, I found it more difficult getting used to the position of the foot boards. I'm very happy with it just the way it is.

 

As more time is spent in the saddle the more I'm getting used to the HT. I guess I'll arrive when I don't think about it any longer. Just do it. I'm still searching for the pegs when I take off from a stop, and sometimes hit the heel shift with my toe. End up shifting up to second kinda quick.

Vic (Lone Eagle) did some measuring of his Starline toe shifter for comparison. The length of the toe arm is almost the same, but the ball connector is 1" farther up the arm. I guess it makes the movement needed to shift shorter. Might be something to think about when cutting off the heel....
