    Ironically enough during my ride home yesterday I was wondering the same thing, actually wondering how guys with smaller hands use the clutch as it is quite a stretch. (mine are stock)

    If there's no adjustment - and I'm assuming that there isn't but since mine already had aftermarket levers on it I don't know that for a fact - then you'll have to grow longer fingers. Sorry, couldn't resist.

    Laughing at some comments here. Make sure you have 2 quarters "coin" gap in the adjustment at the lever. See if that helps. Good luck!

    You can try this. I did it years ago and it's not caused any problems. It's just a plastic button, I think they are called canoe clips, stuck in the clutch cable groove. It holds the lever away from the perch enough that the end of the lever is close enough to the bar to make it easier to reach. I still do the two quarters slack in the cable with the button in there.

    Does the new lever give you more leverage? It looks like the lever is longer from the pivot point. And does the brak lever match the curve of the clutch on the newer one?

    I've looked at them and gave them a pull and I don't think they give you more leverage, but they are closer to the grips. They also have to be used with the perch for them, you can't just swap the levers. The clutch lever matches and is still adjustable.
