dont know if this helps mate but i filed my gear lever down a bit at the bit which sticks out keeping the gear rubber bit at right angles. this means the gear rubber sits at a different angle which suits my size 12's and allows me to change as normal. (Does that make sense)

Cut the original and weld a extension in.

Of course you could always go the convoluted way,like this picture I took in Merzouga,of an Italian XR650....move footpeg back,add extensions and bars along with nuts and bolts and a few voodoo spells....

WOW !!!! that pics freaky

I cut and welded a piece into my DR650 stick !!! snapped on a fall last W/E probably my bad welding !!

Just thought there'd be a company out there that did em, it's something that i always carry as a spare along with a clutch lever anyway

I'll keep looking

Phil,

Off the road sells one - not sure how much bigger it is than standard and it is definitely not adjustable in length - so may not resolve your issue??

It does have a folding tip on it though, which is the reason that I bought it (I am yet to test this feature - give me a couple of weeks). However, with a higher than standard lever placement to use with boots and while standing, it does appear to be closer to the engine case than I would prefer.

At �32.90 - not the most expensive or the cheapest solution and I believe it is a TT re-sold item.

Cheers Dale

Thanks Phil

No problem - glad I could help and I quietly hope that it is the right size for your needs.

And yes, the installation instructions are TT and it was definitely cheaper from OTR than TT UK (�38!) with the upside of an impressive delivery time.

Nope - I'm not on commission for OTR

Cheers,
Dale
