A heel and toe foot shifter!

ah heal toe on a dual sport odd

 

[Blaaster]

I thought the fitting of a heel and toe was a neat idea on a agricultural bike.

Very useful to stop muddy boots slipping up off the shifter when changing down.

The old Honda Posties used them.

This is what I call a chain saver.

I like it. Just out of curiosity. Where are you in reference to New South Wales?

I am in Northern New South Wales.

Byron Bay is the most Easterly point of Australia, I live in Casino where the blue dot is.

The guy that bought my kdx is there. Sounds to me like he restores vintage bikes for a living.

Where is he, what town?

That's odd, I see no rubber plugs between the fins

 

[Blaaster]

Did they have them on that model Larry?

 

[Larry's Shee]

Not a clue, lol

Well the DT 175 has gone to another home.

Did a bit of fabricating today, made a bob weight to replace the broken one in the AG175.
Hopefully it will start in the morning.
