Best levers for small hands?
I know there are other posts on this, just wanted the latest opinions.
what are the best levers to go with a womens small hands?
preferably in black.
I know you can bend them with heat, or that kuryakyn makes them. any others?

Don't know that you can get what you may want, without changing the mounts as well. Most of the other aftermarket levers state that the lever winds up being 3/8" further away from the bar. So changing the style of controls may be what you need. You might look into the 'trigger' lever styles also.

you know the first time I read the title I thought it said "The Best Lovers for Small Hands" my reply was going to be a small handle.
After reading it again and see it says "small levers" my reply is the same, I would find the smallest grip and then change the mounts and levers.

I am not sure on what would work here, unless you have some maybe custom built.

You can adjust the freeplay in your clutch lever so that it isn't all the way out when you grab it, it's easy to do. I run my clutch a little loose. and my wife has small hands and i run hers a little looser. You have to be sure that with it pulled in it still disengages the clutch though.
Follow the clutch cable down the frame to right in front of the primary there is a rubber boot over the adjustment and two plastic clips holding the cable against the frame. Pull the clips off and slide the boot up and use two wrenches to crack it loose and adjust it. As far as the front brake lever the only thing you could do is put it in a vise and bend it a little. I've bent levers in the vise before back when i use to ride dirt bikes after taking a spill.
