TIKGETUP Ez Shift Neutral Assist Kit for Harley M8 Touring & Softail — Black Aluminum, Easy Bolt-On

The TIKGETUP Ez Shift Neutral Gear Assist Kit is a bolt-on lever adapter that changes gear lever ratio to make finding neutral and shifting at low speeds easier on '17–late M8 Touring and '18–late M8 Softail Harleys.

If you ride a Harley-Davidson M8 Touring or Softail model and struggle to locate neutral or perform smooth low-speed shifts, this compact aluminum assist kit alters the mechanical leverage of your stock shift lever to improve control. Designed for direct fitment on many 2017–late Touring and 2018–late Softail FX models, the kit installs with the included hardware and aims to reduce shift effort while helping the toe hang reliably on the neutral position.

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

By changing the effective lever ratio of the shift arm, the kit increases the precision of foot input near the neutral gate. That finer mechanical advantage helps the toe remain on the linkage and reduces the chance of skipping over neutral when creeping or stopped.

• Alters lever geometry to improve neutral engagement.
• Reduces necessary travel to reach the neutral position.
• Helps maintain toe contact at low speeds and idle.

Will this improve shifting performance?

Yes — the assist kit is engineered to make shifts crisper and require less pedal force, with manufacturer claims of at least a 20% improvement in shift efficiency. It doesn’t alter transmission internals; instead, it optimizes foot-to-gearbox input for a smoother, more confident shifting feel.

• Shortens shift throw for quicker gear changes.
• Lowers pedal effort for snappier upshifts and downshifts.
• May reduce miss-shifts caused by insufficient foot pressure.

How simple is installation and what’s included?

Installation is straightforward and typically requires basic hand tools; the kit clamps to the existing shift lever using the supplied screws. TIKGETUP includes the neutral assist adapter and mounting hardware, so no extra parts are normally needed for compatible models.

• Includes one Ez Shift Neutral Assist Kit and mounting screws.
• Clamps to original shift lever—no permanent modification required.
• Fits specified '17–late Touring and '18–late Softail FX models when installed as directed.

Is the kit durable and how does it look on the bike?

Constructed from an aluminum embryo-molding process and finished in black, the kit balances light weight with corrosion resistance and a clean, factory-compatible appearance. Its compact profile keeps the bike’s visual lines intact while delivering functional benefit.

• Aluminum construction for strength with minimal weight.
• Black finish designed to blend with stock components.
• Low-profile form to preserve motorcycle aesthetics.

Who is this for: The TIKGETUP Ez Shift Neutral Gear Assist Kit is aimed at Harley riders who own compatible 2017–late M8 Touring or 2018–late M8 Softail FX motorcycles and want easier neutral engagement, sharper shifting, and reduced pedal effort without altering the transmission. It’s particularly useful for commuters, stop-and-go city riders, and tourers who frequently need precise low-speed control.
