Apparently a GPZ500 one with span adjuster can be made to fit properly. I think they only came in black, but I might be wrong.

Mine is a poncy Pazzo one, it's GSXR fitment really but cable clutches are easily interchanged. Or, you couild heat your existing one and give it a bend. Or crash

I've got a GPZ500 one you can have. I didn't ever get around to fitting it.

As you've got such lovely floppy ears you can have it for free. Where do you buy helmets that fit your unusual head shape by the way?

Default Re: Adjustable clutch lever.

To adjust the reach on mine, I just slackened the cable then put a bit of plastic pipe ( actually left over bit of scott-oiler supply tube) between the bit of the lever where the cable exits and the pivot point. Works a treat and cost about 1p.

DO NOT just slacken the cable as I did that initially so the lever just kind of naturally flopped closer to the bars but then the cable outer fell out of the housing and I had no clutch at all. The bit of pipe preventing the lever moving too far out stops the cable slipping out of the housing.
