Adjustable Clutch products?
#1
#2
there are a few products out there. One I have used in the past is from Hogleverage.com
One thing to keep in mind. They will adjust your reach but you may or may not be able to start the bike in gear depending on how close you bring the lever to the handlebar. Also, the pull becomes harder with adjustable levers because they are usually shorter. I didn't like it so I took mine off. (bought it for the breakout)
There's also another brand that comes pre-bent a few degrees to bring it closer but I read the same complaints about people not being able to start the bike in gear.
They all pretty much work the same.

I don't understand what you mean. I have 5 bikes, 4 of which have hydraulic clutches. I never have any issue with starting in gear on any of them. The only issue you "may" deal with is air in the line, just bleed it out.

SoftBrakes takes a stock lever and bends is closer to the grip. You can't tell it's been adjusted by looking at it, but it is a heck of a lot easier to manipulate the clutch with it and about 1/3 of the cost of an actual adjustable lever.

I tried the Oberon and didn't like how short it was so I sent it back. While not necessary to put all your fingers on the lever when switching gears, I do like to put my whole hand on the lever when stopping at a light. With the Oberon, that just isn't possible. You can get 3 fingers maybe 4 depending on your hand size. The other negative with the Oberon is that the dial pushes your grip further away from the controls (turn signals and radio volume). You are constantly moving your grip on the bars to turn the turn signals on.
I also tried the PSR levers. They are just slightly longer, so from that aspect they were OK. What I didn't like about the PSR's was the slop in the lever (it's not thick enough). I believe I read on here that Oberon had the same issue when they first made the 2017 levers, so they redid them. PSR is going to need to do the same thing.
In the end, I actually like to stock levers better. Being longer, you have better leverage. Also as mentioned, if you want to be able to start your bike in gear, you have to have the lever so far out, that it really defeats the purpose of having an adjustable lever. This was true with both the Oberon and the PSR..
Hope that help..
