TIKGETUP Ez Shift Neutral Assist Kit for '17–Late M8 Touring & '18–Late M8 Softail — Chrome CNC‑machined, Easier Neutral

If you ride a late-model M8 Harley-Davidson Touring or Softail and you’ve ever had trouble settling the transmission into neutral at low speed or when stopped, this simple aluminum assist kit changes the feel and lever ratio to make neutral easier to find. It installs with included hardware and is CNC-style machined from an aluminum billet for a lightweight, durable addition to your shifting system. The polished chrome finish matches factory styling while improving the mechanical advantage of the stock gear lever.

How does the Ez Shift kit make neutral easier to find?

The assist kit alters the gear lever ratio so the final position of the shift pedal more reliably lands in neutral when the bike is stationary or moving slowly. That means fewer missed shifts and less fumbling between gears when you expect neutral.

• Adjusts lever geometry to increase mechanical advantage at the pawl engagement point
• Reduces required pedal travel to locate neutral
• Helps hold neutral at stops to prevent roll or unexpected engagement
