What Is the Kraus EZ Shift?

The Kraus EZ Shift is a precision-machined aluminum arm that increases leverage and corrects the angle of your Harley’s shift linkage. By raising and leveling the linkage, it optimizes the mechanical geometry and drastically improves shifting performance.

In simple terms?

Your Harley suddenly shifts like it should.

Why Neutral Becomes So Easy

In stock form, Harley-Davidson shift linkages slope downward toward the rear shifter arm. This geometry creates mechanical resistance—especially when the bike is running and internal components are spinning. That’s why so many riders struggle to find neutral without shutting the bike off.

The EZ Shift raises the rear shifting point, levels out the linkage, and gives you more leverage. The result?

✔ Neutral clicks in quickly

✔ No more “hunting” or overshooting

✔ Smooth shifts at every RPM

✔ A more premium, positive shift feel

In testing, Kraus claims it makes shifting 20% easier, and from our hands-on experience… that feels accurate.

Real-World Testing: Night-and-Day Difference

We installed the Kraus EZ Shift on multiple Harley-Davidson models. Every time, the result was immediate and undeniable.

Here’s what you’ll feel:

• Neutral at a standstill, instantly

• No more feathering the lever or guessing

• Cleaner, more precise shifts up and down the range

• A notable improvement even on redesigned 2024+ transmissions

• A more premium feel overall

You simply don’t realize how much effort shifting takes… until the effort is gone.

Beware of Cheap Knockoffs-Amazon/eBay

We don’t bring junk into the Law Abiding Biker Store, so we bought several knockoff versions from Amazon & eBay to compare.

The differences were obvious:

❌ Rough, subpar machining

❌ Metal burrs and poor finishing

❌ Reverse-engineered tolerances

❌ Unknown materials

❌ No quality control

❌ Overseas manufacturing

They feel cheap, look cheap, and we wouldn’t trust them on any of our bikes. If you want the real EZ Shift—with USA craftsmanship and proper engineering—get it from a trusted dealer. Yes, we stock both versions (M8 & Twin Cam) in the Law Abiding Biker Store.

Pair It with a High-Quality Shift Linkage (Important!)

While installing the EZ Shift, it’s the perfect time to upgrade the weak OEM Harley shift linkage with a quality shift linkages for the Law Abiding Biker Store.

Harley uses a pressed ball-and-socket design that is known to crack or fail—and we’ve seen countless riders stranded because of it. Our recommended fix:

✔ Aftermarket Heim-joint shift linkage

✔ Stronger, flexible, and reliable

✔ Available in chrome or black

✔ Fits perfectly with the EZ Shift

In the Law Abiding Biker Store we carry Kuryakyn and other premium linkages designed to last. Videos and install guides are embedded right on the product listing.

Installation Overview

The EZ Shift is simple to install using basic hand tools. Here’s a quick overview: (see video below for full detailed tutorial)

1. Remove your rear shift linkage

Loosen the OEM threaded stud at the rear shifter arm and remove the linkage.

2. Slide the EZ Shift over the rear shifter arm

The curved backside aligns perfectly with the stock arm.

3. Install the included bolt

This replaces the OEM stud location. Use medium-strength (blue) Loctite if desired.

4. Tighten the set screw

The set screw presses into the shifter arm for added security.

5. Reattach and adjust your shift linkage

Adjust length until your shifter peg is in the ideal position.

6. Fine-tune the shifter peg height

Remove the toe shifter from the splines and reposition if necessary.

That’s it—your Harley now shifts like a completely different bike.
