Another observation about the Rivco H/T shifter, the shifter seems to be more to the right, or closer to the engine than the stock unit. So this means less of the pad is under/ever your foot when shifting. I found myself having to pigeon-toe my feet to get enough foot grip of the rubber shifter pads. I don't have enough miles on this new shifter to tell yet if having to adjust my toes inward is causing me to miss-shift sometimes when downshifting to first gear. I don't think this is the cause of my first gear issues but I still have not figured it out yet. I think me having to kick the pedal a few times sometimes when downshifting into first is more likely due to the weight and balance of the actual shifter.
I am not sure if I am going to keep this Rivco Heel-Toe shifter on my bike. If you are interested in a new shifter it may be wiser to go with the Triumph part rather than aftermarket. The Rivco people who I have talked to have been very nice but their shifter is not. Since I don't have any other Rivco products I cannot comment on the fit and quality of any of the other items they sell.
