Not my idea, so I won't claim the credit. Very effective IMO.

What does it "heal"?
a. 200-mile road trip, stock-seat, Thruxton-butt?
b. Clip-on wrist disease
c. I can't stop mod'ing my Thrux-eye-tiss

Seriously, I think the heel plate looks good! :-D
But I suffer from all of the above afflictions...
