Maybe I don't understand what your issue is. Normally you would just hold the gear until you are leaned up enough to shift or short shift a gear up early so you don't need to shift at full lean. If you are saying you have an issue shifting because your boot doesn't fit under the peg because you don't have room when fully leaned over, the gp shift pattern or reversed shift pattern will help. This way if you shift from 2nd to 3rd your foot is on top of the shifter and not below dragging the ground. Up is down and down is up. Please don't try this while leaning hard and practice tons before trying it going fast or at high rpms. I switched to gp shift pattern once and accidentally shifted down instead of up. Major mistake. I don't have the skills to switch now. I put it back and never tried again. If you are saying you don't want to move your foot enough to shift I have no idea how to help you. Your results trying any of these ideas could kill you. Do so at your own risk and with proper race training. I am not a trainer. Others here that use a gp shift pattern may offer better assistance. | ||

No its not the actual shifting in the turns and only do so on very rare occasions and at slow speeds, i also live where the wind is a hazard all the time so pretty much stay tucked down all the time and i was taught to keep the pegs under the balls of my feet,when i ride i wear thick racing boot and they don't like to flex a whole lot, so its just easier for me to press down with the toe and heel. Just wanted to see i there was a simple solution other than installing a quick shift kit. (Message edited by stevenfrye on September 09, 2014) | ||

Harley-Davidson has a heel & toe shift lever for the old FXR models. One of those could likely be adapted to the 1125. I had one on my former '87 FXRT and it was pretty cool to just rock the lever for up & down shifts without moving my foot back and forth. | ||
