At long last the bar set arrived from Germany yesterday. But much to my chagrin, they would require major surgery to be made to fit a fairing model (and as I was warned). But if you don't ask, you don't get. Beautifully packed, they arrived in perfect condition and were only out of the box...

Thanks Randy. I'm a product of parents who lived thru the Depression and helped win WW2. Old school work ethics are just a part of me -- I can't help it! I processed the first kit to Canada yesterday. That process included a trip to the Post Office where I learned about the obscure...

Okay, the final Heel Shifter Kit pricing is $59 for USA deliveries and $78 (USD) for Canadian addresses. Payment will be in response to PayPal invoices I will send you back from my [email protected] account. So if you want to start the process, please email me at that address and provide...

No, I've not reached out to those interested yet. And yes, you remain on my contact list. And as an update, again, we failed to install on a stock foot peg bike today. This means that no body with stock foot pegs should buy this heel shift lever. Such a lever could be designed, but this...

Dennis left awhile ago. The good news/bad news/same news is that we discovered that the heel lever design for the floorboards will not work with the stock pegs! No way, Jose! So I'm re-doing the installation manual to reflect that. So I need to scout up a helper to finish the video review of...

Today's the day.... I've finished my instruction manual. It is 6 pages long (don't be scared, the text is peppered with photographs -- 6 in all so far with more to come). I've held off publication knowing that one of the local guys, Dennis, wanted to come over and get his today. He is on his...

I called after lunch and the word from the vendor was that the parts were being powder coated this afternoon and will be ready tomorrow.

There is a very cool BBQ chain in the central FL area that I've enjoyed maybe a 100+ times since my first foray back in the late 60's. It's called Sonny's BBQ, so give it a google to find the one nearest you when you are up there. My trike's still not on the road or I'd meet up with you, since...

Heel shifter delivery update I followed up with my vendor this AM since it is unlike them to be this far off a promised delivery. They are a small family operation, and having been there myself, I understand the pitfalls that can beset them. And that is exactly what's up. The blanks have...

Well, something happened and I never got the call to pick up the shifters. So, it looks like next week sometime. I'll keep you all posted.

Thanks for sharing. However, it does appear that this unit is actually for the NC750's not our CTX's. So there still might be some significant mods to be made in order to make it work (and paying some $200 for the honor).

I've been writing up the why's & whatfor's of installing the heel shifter, but can't publish it without having one in hand for photos. I went over to the vendor yesterday afternoon to review and approve with minor adjustments, the final test piece. Ryan said he'd try for tomorrow, or worst case...

Too late!! There's no room left here, every possible snowbird nest has already been taken!!

Free is good, right? If what I have will work for you, how about totally free?? I spent $950 on a custom Corbin with two backrests for my trike and have no plans for anything further for the stock seat. Yes, I still have my old seat that I did some experimenting on. I almost threw it out a...

Both myself and my wife of 49 years are former USAF officers. That means our service was back to the Viet Nam era. In fact, during our first year of marriage I was in combat (I had 1025 combat hours in 100 missions in an EC-121R flying out of Korat Thailand). I spent our first Christmas in...

It is here (80 degrees today for us!)

After paying myself a small year end bonus, I went over to my vendor today and fronted the cost of the production run of 20 units. My man thinks he can squeeze in the waterjet work early next week so there's a real chance that they'll be ready to ship to American customers before EoY! I also...

Thanks for sharing. I'm installing this on a trike, so I'm not worried about the crashbar bending. I'm interested in looks, and a place to mount running lights and maybe highway pegs. The rear mounting points appear to be the same on both bikes and I've got a really good welder who'll do...

Herr Fehling said that they don't have the full fairing models in Germany, that's why they didn't build a set of bars for them. I don't think the mods will be significant, so I'm ordering a set to see for myself. I figure that if I can mod them, I'll just re-sell to a naked rider (hmmm, that...

Hmmmm, never thought of that (but then, I don't have a DCT!). There are two complete sets on eBay right now. One is $62 w/shipping and here's one for $35.00 delivered...
