Having trouble reaching hand levers. Small hands are my problem, solutions please?
I been cursed with small hands. Its hard for me get my fingers around the Brake and and Clutch levers sometimes wearing gloves, especially in the winter months wearing thicker gloves. My only solution looks like replacing the levers with Kuryakyn's Trigger Levers. Their parts book claim these levers "Are the way to go for Riders with smaller hands". My question, Has anyone have any experience with the Kury Levers?
Any other solutions, be nice.

I just installed the trigger levers you mentioned. they didn't seem to be a lot better as far as finger reach but the trigger is a nice feature
As for me, I would not change back to the Harley levers. Do not expect a big difference but I think you will like the trigger
my hands have a bit of arthritis and I also have small wide hands
hope this helps

You might try rotating the controls/levers upwards on the handlebars a bit till it feels good. I find that can make it a much more comfortable reach.
Might look a little funny depending how far up you rotate it. Not that it hasn't been done, though, check out the large black and white photo just past halfway down the page

+1 to this, makes a world of difference since you don't feel like you're having to unhook your thumb as much from the grip in order to reach forward to grab the lever.

What you actually want to look at are their Boss Blades. They actually have a reduced reach while maintaining full clutch cable pull. I've got a set on my wife's 98 Softail.
