Another option is to get some "shorty" levers, that shouldn't touch down in an off. Only useful if you only use 2-3 fingers on them though, or have small hands.

The cheap aftermarket ones are very fragile, so the "suicide" cut doesn't do much- they're so weak at the adjusters that they'll still snap there.
You could consider something like Pazzo shorties- they'll often not touch down at all, and they're strong. But expensive. I've got some of those now, because I'm a tart, but they're completely impossible to justify on cost terms... Remember with flip-ups they'll still take road rash, all of a sudden your expensive levers look like rubbish. If I'm going a long way from home I always have a spare set of levers gaffer taped to the inside of my front fairings, you'll never know they're there and they give you that extra protection.

Tilt's Tuono with our pattern brake lever.................mechanism removed and turned upside down and held in place with a couple of cable ties. I think our pattern levers cost £15 for the pair from our local independant bike shop. For that price and for the 'getting yourself or your mates out of the sh*t factor', how can you really not bother to carry some.
