I have small hands. Nakes, the tips of my fingers can reach the clutch lever. With these nice alpinestar gloves (Small, fits nice and snug), I can't give my fingers over the lever to squeeze it. This normal for you guys wearing race gloves? Wish there was a way to shorten the travel and distance of both brake and clutch levers.

Hmm.. by adjusting the CRG levers, if you have long travel, won't you bottom out on the grips?

nope. you're shortening the throw of the lever, not relocating the same thro.

Pazzo's are the same way, matter of fact, the adjustment looks exactly like the CRG.

Moto.com has sets for 160.00+ free shipping.

You NEED the throw on the clutch - the front brake is adjustable.

Break in the gloves. They will feel slightly tight on the tops of the knuckles for the first half dozen rides.

Can you reach/pull OK without gloves? (IS the problem the gloves or the reach?)

I have a pair of Alpinestars as well. Bought them new this year. I'm not a huge guy, I can't palm a basketball, but I still needed an XL in order to move my clutch lever. Tight is fine, but the large cut off circulation.
