sarges46 Posted August 8, 2008 #1 Posted August 8, 2008 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!
pegscraper Posted August 8, 2008 #2 Posted August 8, 2008 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.
sarges46 Posted August 8, 2008 Author #3 Posted August 8, 2008 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.
pegscraper Posted August 8, 2008 #4 Posted August 8, 2008 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."
sarges46 Posted August 8, 2008 Author #6 Posted August 8, 2008 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!
