My Wife rides a Honda 110 and has a bad leg problem when it come to upshifting. Does anyone know if there is a aftermarket Heal-Toe shifter that I can get somewhere. It would really make her upshift better.
Thanks
John

I've never seen a heel/toe shifter on a 3 wheeler, but old honda 50 or 55 mini bikes sometimes had them. Maybe get on ebay or go to a motorcycle salvage place and see if they can help. Only problems you might encounter if you find one is the clearence of the heel shifter, and the bends of the shifter, and the size of the shaft. Here is one I found on ebay.

Check Dennis Kirk (denniskirk.com), I'm pretty sure I saw some there, I'm not sure if they were generic or for specific atv's, they also had stick shift like hand shifters which might be a consideration as well.

it looks easy enough to custom make one. just take a old brake pedal and with enough heat and time shape it the way you want the heel section to be. then weld it to the original shifter,

I agree with 200x...... easier to just make one that you know will work and fit just right than to buy something that won't quite work.
It wouldn't take much to make a hand shifter either, and besides that's kinda unique.....unique is good. :thumbsup:
I don't know how anybody but a kid shifts those 110's anyway. My knees are in my face, and I feel like I'm riding a 3 year olds tricycle. If I had to ride it very much I too would change the shifter linkage.
