Just got myself a new pair of boots and finding that they sometimes slip off the back brake lever. Any recommendations for either an extension or different rubber? 2017 650 XT. Cheers

What about wrapping a bit of this around the lever?

Or trying a bit of shrink tube?

Sorry, but if Touratwat don't make one, then you are clearly mistaken that you need it...
Aliexpress can come to the rescue though:

Pretty ugly but might do the job.

Ugly. That has to be the understatement of the decade...

Yes, I didn't think a bit of tape or shrink tube would look brilliant but certainly better than that......and cheaper!!
