| | Posted : 21 Sep 2015 - 13:41 Post title : Clutch lever giving me arm pain | | | I wonder if anyone is aware of anything I can do to ease the clutch lever as I'm stretching my fingers to full extension to operate it. My physiotherapist reckons it could be the cause of my arm pain. Any ideas out there chaps?
It's a thunderbird storm 1700, 2014 model so I know I'm not strictly in the right forum, I'm clutching at straws. He he!

Welcome to the fray. Looks like a lot of new members in the last few days, so welcome. Lots of good info from good folks here.
There are adjustable levers available to shorten the reach of the levers. But one thing I've tried and worked for me is to simply bend the levers in a bit. The metal is soft enough to do so (a little), but also breakable if you go too far. Probably prudent to have a set lined up for purchase if you do go too far.

I didn't see any suitable ones online, but I'll keep searching.
Cheers!

They're german so should be available in the UK.... welcome to the mad-house 
The 'search' function can take a while to learn but it's definitely worth persevering with it..

A member from the UK found the LSL adjustable levers so there are around. You may be able to track him down and check them out.
This Link has his write up.
