Hand Size
Was talking with the wife the other day about the ride we took and the subject of hand size came up, she has small hands and has to take her hand off the handle bar to reach the lever to engage the clutch so she can shift gears, so do they make levers to fit a womens hand?

Wondering the same thing myself.I work with a guy who was born with no fingers on his right hand. Small nubs to put it bluntly. I asked the other day if he has trouble with the front brake or if he doesnt use it.
He says he uses it all the time with no trouble. Just something to get used to I guess. He does admit that after a days ride it gets tired.
Seems like there should be some type of lever to make it easier.

She could always go with a jockey shift and foot clutch, LOL. I am sure they have something out there to help. Maybe you could heat up the lever and bend it in a little? Someone will chime in I'm sure. Anyone?

Not sure of what company makes them, but there is a company that makes levers that are easier to reach. Do a search and I'm sure you will find something. Look at the aftermarket distributers. JP-Ddrag spec.-Custom chrome- Etc. Also small dia. grips would help.
