The adjustment procedure is outlined in your Service Manual...
I did not know that. Learn something new every day....:thumbsupThe length of the shifter rod, only sets the position of the pedal. Might be difficult to shift if the pedal is too high or low but should not effect the shifting above a certain gear.
I'm gonna be a bit nasty here. But, if you were paying attention to what you were doing you would have seen what is being said. Second, if you would have adjusted it a bit longer or shorter while you were trying to get right, you would have answered your own question. The rod doesn't adjust the shift position inside the case. It just adjust the pedal position. Adjust it to fit the boot or shoes you are wearing and what feels comfortable to shift easily. I personally only want to pivot my toes to shift, not lift my foot.I did not know that. Learn something new every day....:thumbsup
I`ll return the favor.... First. If you had taken the time to read the thread you would have known it is not SoftailBilly with the problem. Which your response seems to be 100% directed at.I'm gonna be a bit nasty here. But, if you were paying attention to what you were doing you would have seen what is being said.

To strong?:spar :2gunsopcorn
After you have been banned from several forums....you too will settle down some.To strong?
....guess maybe I should have waited till I had my full dose of morning caffeine. :dunno
I think an answer to the, "sitting still or riding it", question may help. Unless of course this is a one and run OP.So, has the problem been found/solved?
If you had been paying attention. The shifter problem is not mine. I was only making a observation. But I will use the info to fine tune my shifter pedal so my other set of boots fits under pedal better. I also like to just use my toes to shift. Have great day.I'm gonna be a bit nasty here.

Agree with you. HD shifter rod is not a fine piece of engineering that's for sure.There could be a small possibility that the linkage shaft going from the rod to the shifter peddle has excessive wear causing it to snag/bind. Disconnect the shifter rod and make sure the shifter shaft rolls both ways smooth, also it would not hurt to disassemble and lube it anyway.
