Good riding today
After changing the shift linkage ( I have always used heim joints with the factory rod)
Now , after changing the entire linkage ( a first for me) the clunk is all but a thing of the past. Up shifts and down no longer clunk, I might miss that NOT
The instructions ( from HD ) are wrong, so I did it my way( H D wants the front part put on the outside), this caused a bind, also the chrome cover ( cheap at best) does not fit the arm on the transmission. Not a deal breaker as I used an in store credit

That sounds great no clunking. I will want to go that route. Do you have any install tips on any thing that you did. Maybe a few pics if you could. Thanks.

No pictures yet, if you read the instructions and follow them for your year trike you will not have any problems
THere are many knock offs on the market cheaper, but IMO cheaper is just that. Chose wisely Here is a link, click on details for instruction page

Nice pic and that looks a lot better than the original and more rugged. Less Flex.
I have always changed all my shifters to heim joint rod ends. They will last a lifetime and not leave you stranded like the cheap factory joints
This time I opted for the solid linkage seen here with heim joints. I had an in store credit to use
You can get heim joints for your stock HD rod here

I installed a heel shift today, I dunno why I waited so long
A note, the box says parts are made in USA, China and Singapore
The lever is pretty light weight, chrome is good. Hardware is good quality, I am OK with this
Note, the pinch bolts are now thru bolts with self locking nuts, a big improvement IMO

Paid a chilly visit to my sleeping beauty still in hibernation for almost 6 weeks now. Did I ever mention that I hate cold weather?
I had a Dr visit today, it was colder than normal here this morning@32 degrees when I left the house
I had my chaps on so it was not too bad
It was nice to have my heel shifter on my 21 Freewheeler, it got a work out today

LOL! I've got to get rid of some of the stuff in there. I actually do a lot of shop work out there. If I were to turn the camera around you'd see my workbench and storage cabinets where my gun stock and recoil pad work gets done. I test fire some small caliber stuff out there as well. Nothing big, don't want to upset the neighbors too muchYou need more stuff in that garage john , I can help ya with that
Yeah I hear y'all are getting some brisk weather down there. Talking to my buddy in Port Charlotte yesterday and it was a high of 50.

Today I added extended shift pegs to my Freewheeler, I hate the wimpy stock ones
J & P catalog shows no fit for 2021 FLRT, I questioned that since I already put that same part number on the front already. Their tech department said they could not yet confirm that, so I rode down to the Daytona store, bought the peg and put it on in the parking lot.
I had the tech come out to see the job so they can confirm the fitment, lets see how long it takes them to do it.
Here is the peg, part #
J&P Part #: 634-213
