    Hi all.
    Just wondered what is the easiest way to move the clutch lever closer to the grip?
    Got a "Beadle" hand and its just a little awkward to reach.

    I have new levers, which help a little, but not enough,

    The only 2 options I can see at the moment are shortening the push rod a tad, or bending the handles.
    I worry though, that either of these may reduce the stroke too much for the clutch to fully engage.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

    Many Thanks

    Think there should be an adjuster disc type?

    The normal 1-6 dial. But it doesn't do enough for me.
    I can manage, but it means partially letting go of the grip, which is not ideal.

    I would go the asv lever route, as have loads of adjustment! Made the world of difference to my 08 which I appreciate is cable but still lots of adjustment to their levers

    I took 4mm off the push rod in the end, and with the handles I got from China, works bang on for me. :)
