Have you considered adjusting the height of the standard lever? I found lifting the angle a few degrees allowed much easier access without adding to the throw of it and making missed changes a bit more likely.

SW Motech do an adjustable gear lever and Adventure tech in the USA do a lever extension to go with the footrest lowering plates, I'm sure there are others also.

I've got a direct fit adjustable in length shift lever for sale, if you're interested. It is set currently for me and I wear a size 11 boot

I'm shoe size 13. I have an extended shifter from SW Motech. I also extended the original lever and have it as a spare.

Cheers Valves
much to my surprise the lever arrived yesterday as I only thought you were posting it yesterday however it was fitted and took the bike to work this morning
perfect length now and the gear shifting feels much more direct which is nice

Cheers Pal
