Anyone know where I can get an extra long shift lever? I have a history of blowing up trannies, sometimes when I get squirrely I stomp on the shift lever by mistake. I wear 12 and think maybe a longer shift lever would help. Anyone know where to get one?

Yeah let me check my books at work. Some one just came out with one. I can't think who it is but was thinking about getting one myself. I got big feet size 13-14 so I kinda need one also. It looked to be a nice set up.
Damn its nice workin at a bike dealer. But sometimes I feel like its a curse cause I'm always broke because of it.

Obviously, the pic below is not a Honda to Honda comparison but you get the idea of how it extends your shifter.

Longer lever = more leverage = more broken tranny stuff, not less....

I like a short shifter sitting almost level with the foot peg so I can sit as far front as possible and still shift comfortably. whenever I hop on MFDBs bike I lok up the rear brake and miss a few shifts for the first few minutes because he puts all his levers really high.

I think the newer 125 shifters are longer than the 250's but not sure. Got one on Ebay and it seemed a bit longer
