Eliminate heel toe shift lever

Post by danielzink » Tue Oct 01, 2019 7:44 am

Hey all,

I'd like to get rid of the heel/toe shift lever on the dream - it gets in the way...a lot...

I don't want to cut this one up - I'll just throw it in the box of extra parts for the next owner

Anyone know what other "regular" lever will slide onto the splines ?

Thanks !

Dan

I think the gear change shaft on your bike is pretty well a Japanese standard sized spline, if so there will be plenty of levers which will fit.

Why not have a walk round a bike breakers yard and pick up a few that look something like then see which you can 'fine tune' to your requirements.

What do you have against the standard toe and heel arrangement?

My first bike was a C92 Benly which also had a toe and heel pedal, don't remember it being a problem although, as it was my first bike' I didn't have experience with anything else (until I bought my first CB77) This was a looonnng time ago!

I must confess, I never use the heel part.

Big feet and the way I position my feet on the pegs...

It's a personal preference thang...

The spline should be 11.35mm diameter , with 30 splines. Most Honda shifters from the 60's and early 70's should be for that spec. You might want to look on the Common Motorcycle Collective site, and check out their CB350 shift arms. Regards, Chase
