Default Clutch lever
Ok because of weak (old and damaged hands) i want to change me levers but not kill the bank. Does anyone know if the Kuryakyn Boss blades and the Trigger blades both have a shorter reach?

I just put the Boss Blades on mine and didn’t notice any shorter reach between those and the stock ones...not that I was looking for that.

Just the reach or clutch pull? There are also items to make a lighter clutch pull as well if that is an issue. Albeit more than Boss Blades, you can get some pretty decent adjustable levers as well.

u can get reduced effort clutch which replaces the ramp and bearing in the clutch housing mine made a huge difference. I would also look at the adjustable clutch levers to bring it closer to the bars.

You would probably get more helpful replies if you told us what bike you have.

On a 2017 RGU, the boss blades are not a shorter reach. If anything, longer reach.

After a little seat time I have noticed that they are definitely deeper as in if my fingers can’t “hook” around them during the initial grab.
