    Extended Shifter?

    The shifter on my bike isn't very long and I have big feet, im having difficulties shifting comfortably as I cant really get my toe under the shift lever with my foot on the pedal. Does anyone make a shift lever that is longer than the OEM shift lever?

    Would it help if the shifter foot was higher? The shifter foot should be on top of your foot not your toe. Depending on the model you have you can adjust a turnbuckle or remove and adjust shifter position higher to suit you better.

        What bike do you have? The shifter shaft on my 550 is splined and I can put the shifter just about any position i like. Probably just moving the shifter a little bit higher would solve your problem. I had that problem too with my big ole size 13's Lol

            There are all kinds of different shift levers using the same spline. Find a longer one.

            Or lengthen yours.
