Paul Yaffe Hand Shift Levers: Where Custom Style Meets Function
When it comes to custom Harley-Davidson upgrades, few names carry the weight of Paul Yaffe Originals. Inducted into the Sturgis Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2014, Paul Yaffe's Phoenix-based company designs and manufactures parts that inspire. That same design DNA flows directly into his hand shift lever lineup — components that transform one of the most frequently touched controls on your motorcycle into a signature style statement.
The Stealth and I-Beam Shift Lever Lineup
Paul Yaffe's approach to hand shift levers is rooted in the same philosophy he applies to every part he creates: radical design that is also highly functional. His catalog centers on two standout designs for Harley-Davidson Touring and Trike applications.
- Stealth Heel Shift Lever: The Stealth Heel Shift Lever minimizes heel movement for fast, accurate upshifts, features a radical design that is highly functional and looks great, and provides full access to the floorboard area by eliminating the shift peg. It works with Bagger Nation Wedgy floorboards or factory floorboards and is made in the U.S.A. Available in chrome and black accent-cut finishes.
- I-Beam Toe Shift Lever: Paul Yaffe's killer style shines through with this beefy I-beam design, built from solid billet construction with an all-business industrial style, and it serves as the perfect match for the Stealth Heel Lever. The I-Beam design spans model years from 1984 through current Harley-Davidson platforms, making it one of the most broadly compatible options in the Yaffe catalog.
Why Paul Yaffe's Shift Levers Stand Apart
In 2006, Paul Yaffe expanded his ventures by launching Paul Yaffe's Bagger Nation, a company dedicated to providing custom parts and services for transforming Harley-Davidson touring bikes into custom baggers without compromising ride quality or reliability. The shift lever lineup reflects that mission perfectly — these aren't vanity pieces bolted on for looks alone. Each lever is engineered to improve the shifting experience while delivering the unmistakable aesthetic that has made Yaffe a household name in the custom bagger world.
You can add the Paul Yaffe flair to your motorcycle with the aftermarket lines from Paul Yaffe Originals and Bagger Nation — designed and created by Yaffe and his team, these parts allow you to take on his specific style without needing Yaffe to build the bike. For riders who want their controls to look as intentional as the rest of their build, the Stealth and I-Beam shift levers are a natural starting point.
Built for Harley-Davidson Touring & Trike Riders
Paul Yaffe's hand shift levers are engineered specifically for Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycles and Trike platforms, with broad fitment coverage reaching back to 1984. Paul Yaffe Originals went beyond just building high-end custom bikes — Paul designed truly unique parts and products for Harley-Davidsons. Whether you're building a full custom bagger or simply upgrading a stock shifter, these levers deliver a professional, clean finish that pairs naturally with other Bagger Nation components like floorboards, handlebars, and foot controls.
