Doc-the shift lever is adjustable, and yes, its really there. Believe it or not, you do adapt to the position, its just a more athletic endeavor than the VRod. Ducs are great once you get to the twisty bits, they're not really designed to be tolerable on the way there. And mostly intolerable elsewhere. But you can't be really good at what you do without focus.

Actually, if you're "really" riding a Duc, you're only using the shift lever on the downshift, but I digress....

BTW, don't read this wrong, I love Harley's, they just aren't doing what a Duc does, and vice versa.
