Default stubby brake and clutch levers?

Can you get them for the curvy?

Cheers

Yes, both Pazzo and CRG levers come in a shorter option. They are pricey though.

Thought they probably would be. It was just a casual interest really. I commute in London and a couple of times I've clipped the brake lever and my heart stopped! You can make the curvy so narrow by folding the mirrors in that the levers are actually the widest thing - dangerous!

I'll just have to stop going through such narrow spaces I suppose

I shortened the brake lever by falling off.

You could also cut the ends of them off, if you are filtering with the mirrors in then I would guess that you are not filtering safely in the eyes of a copper.

I think there are some in a busters mag but if you check online you can get hold of them they look well snazzy too!

they have some much cheaper "trak - Tek" levers but they only do them for gixxers. Do any gixxers have the same levers?

Cheers

A cheaper option would be to slide the lever perch down the bar a bit, or failing that, cut the end off a patern part set?
