| Posted : 16 Jun 2013 - 02:30 Post title : Heel shifter for Thunderbird?? | | Does anyone know if anyone makes a rocker (toe/heel) shifter lever for the Thunderbird? Has anybody made one? I used one for many years on my America, without floorboards. Got spoiled. Thanks, --Tom

He's probably right. The way it's designed , I can't see how the Triumph heel/toe piece would work without the floorboards.

(Re: Ultimate38) | | I think you are on to something When I get time, I will try to go to a motorcycle junk yard or a Harley shop (both about 2 hrs drive from here), and do some investigating. Also, I wonder if the America has the same shift shaft diameter & # of spines?

Diameter measured this week-end: 10.61 - 11 mm. Need to remove the shifter for more precise measurement.
