Shorter length clutch lever?

Hi all.

As the title states really. I find when I'm riding I only tend to pull the clutch lever in with my first 2 fingers. The rest of the lever then hits my other 2 knuckles. Only lightly but, after a while it really hurts the knuckles.

Anyone know of a shorter length lever (like old style bmx brake levers), that could resolve my issues.

Thanks

Have you looked at the likes of Pazzo levers?

Learn to put the other two fingers on the lever?

It has the great advantage of being cheap.

I know I've posted this before but I simply cut my levers in half with a hacksaw and then got a local welder to weld the little balls back on the ends. After a little work with a file and piece of emery cloth they almost look original, only shorter. Total cost, £10.
