My bike has stock levers on it currently, and I cant shift gears without using all my fingers. I want to be able to just use my index finger but the stock levers hit the rest of my fingers. I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of what levers I could get to fix this problem. I was thinking about trying to heat and bend my stock ones, anyone have any ideas on this. Thanks for any input anyone may give me, Matthew Tully

I've got the CRG shorty levers, I use 3 fingers for the clutch and 2 for the brake.
The shorty levers are a good length to allow plenty of control surface and leverage but short enough to stay out of my way.

Dunno if you'll be able to pull any clutch lever with 1 finder without a hydraulic setup..

nope I don't think they're too short.. I can fit 4 fingers on each lever but like I said I prefer using fewer fingers.

The normal length CRG levers have tabs cut out so that if the bike tips over, they will break off and be the same length as the shorty levers.

American Sport Bike faux carbon clutch lever is pretty nice. it has a flatter profile than stock that seemed to make the clutch pull feel softer
