Heal toe shifter for vstar?

[sarges46]

Does anyone know where I can get a heal/toe shifter for Marilyn's 1100 custom vstar? It's an 02....I have checked everywhere and cant find one!

 

Oh,ya...and if anyone is parting or selling a vstar that has the oil relocation kit and wants to sell that item let me know! New ones are getting pretty steep!

That bike has pegs on it rather than floor boards, doesn't it? I don't think anyone makes a heel/toe shifter for use with pegs. That's what a custom is, pegs, toe shifter, and a duck butt.

 

I'd like one of those ORKs for Lori's V Star 1100 too, but I can remove the exhaust pipe a whole lot of times for what they're getting for those. What a crummy design that was.

Sure is a bad design! And I do agree with the cost...but sometimes the cost is worth it to avoid the aggravation of it all. I should have got it two years ago when the things could be got for well under 200 bucks...

 

And yep it came with pegs. I have since added passenger and driver floor boards and she is wanting a heel/toe. I thought there may be an aftermarket item out there somewhere....but no joy yet.

 

Thanks for the reply.

Ah, I see. And I'm guessing the boards you added are aftermarket? Unless that company makes a heal shifter for their own boards, probably the only way to get a heal shifter would be to make some brackets to mount Y's own floorboards from a classic.

You know Rick, if you learn to do an oil change correctly, Marilyn might (and I say might) just let you start changing her oil.

 

Just realize, with this crew I'd better add "in her bike."

Hey now! I resemble that remark!

 

Right...aftermarket boards.She is not tall enough for the expensive forward controls and they wouldnt fit with the crash bars she has anyway.

 

I truly thought I could just buy a shifter and put it on....so much for me thinking....never mind Owl!
