Aftermarket levers
I’m happy with the shape of the stock levers on my 1250 but ideally would like a reach distance on the clutch between position 1 and 2 and on the brake something closer to the bar than position 1.
Are there any “sensibly priced “ adjustable levers out there that would do the job ?.

Re: Aftermarket levers
I replaced mine with a set of wunderlich levers and they are 1000 times better than stock
Yes they are expensive but worth it for me

Re: Aftermarket levers
Cheers, one of the first reviews from nippy Norman’s mentioned that the brake lever doesn’t bring the reach closer to the bars as in the description though , this would be the only reason for me swapping out.

Re: Aftermarket levers
Remind me if I haven't replied in a day or so and I will measure the distance for you

@Panman40
This measurement is on both brake and clutch at the closest point to the bars between position 1 and 6
It's pointless measuring at the ends of the lever due to them being adjustable and different length
The main point is where you would grab the lever
As you can see they are about the same on both sides
So just measure your levers now to see the difference

Re: Aftermarket levers
So I went with ASV standard length levers in silver, very happy with the outcome, just be careful when swapping the barrel and pushrod of those 2mm Allen grubs covered in loctite
