TIKGETUP Ez Shift Neutral Gear Assist Kit for Harley M8 Touring & Softail — Black Anodized Aluminum, Shorter Pedal Throw

The TIKGETUP Ez Shift Neutral Gear Assist Kit is a black anodized aluminum lever upgrade that changes your Harley M8 gear-shift ratio to make finding and holding neutral easier at low speeds and when stopped.

Designed for '17–late M8 Touring models and '18–late M8 Softail FX bikes, this bolt-on kit reconfigures the shift lever geometry so the transmission reaches neutral with less pedal travel and smoother engagement. Crafted from cast aluminum and supplied with mounting hardware, it installs in place of the factory linkage and delivers improved shift feel without modifying the gearbox itself. It’s a straightforward mechanical aid intended to reduce fumbling during stop-and-go riding and to speed up shifts by the manufacturer-stated improvement.

How does this kit help me find neutral more reliably?

The kit alters the lever ratio on your stock gear shifter so the pedal movement corresponds more effectively to gearbox selector travel. That reduced travel means the selector lands in neutral with smaller, more predictable pedal inputs—especially useful at very low speeds or when stopped.

• Changes lever geometry for shorter pedal throw
• Improves tactile feedback when approaching neutral
• Designed specifically for M8 Touring and Softail models for fit accuracy

Will installation require special tools or permanent modifications?

Installation is a bolt-on swap that uses the supplied mounting screws and keeps the stock shift linkage intact. Most mechanically confident riders can install it with common hand tools in a garage; no welding or permanent cutting is required.

• Includes all necessary mounting hardware
• Requires common tools (wrenches, sockets, torque wrench recommended)
• No permanent modification to the transmission or frame

How much does it improve shifting efficiency and feel?

TIKGETUP rates the Ez Shift Neutral Assist Kit to improve shift efficiency by at least 20%, which translates to crisper, more positive gear changes and fewer missed neutrals. The aluminum molding gives a solid mechanical feel that resists flex under foot load for repeatable shifts.

• At least 20% improved shift efficiency reported by testing
• Aluminum construction for stiffness and longevity
• Black finish blends with stock blacked components

Is this kit compatible with my specific Harley model and year?

The part is engineered to fit '17–late M8 Touring models (including Road, Street, Tri Glide, Road King, Electra/Ultra variants) and '18–late M8 Softail FX models. Compatibility is model- and year-specific—verify your motorcycle’s model year and M8 platform before purchase.

• Fits '17–late M8 Touring series and '18–late M8 Softail FX
• Packing includes one Ez Shift Neutral Assist Kit and mounting screws
• Check your bike’s M8 designation and model year for fitment

Who is this for: The TIKGETUP Ez Shift Neutral Gear Assist Kit is aimed at Harley-Davidson riders who own M8 Touring or Softail FX bikes and want a mechanical, non-invasive way to reduce missed neutrals and sharpen shift feel. It’s ideal for commuters, touring riders, and anyone who frequently operates their bike in low-speed traffic and wants faster, more confident gear changes without altering the transmission internals.
