I recently bought a new MB gearchange for drop bars but the clutch lever is far too long forcing my hand 3" down the shaft.Does anyone know if a shorter one is available?It looks similar to a Yamaha one you would use on a Ser 3 housing but normal Lamby ones wont fit. Part no MRB 0258K

Yes that's the one.As you can see the lever is longer than the twist grip shaft and the finger grips are a long way from the pivot point.The other lever has a different angle where it meets the housing Soulsurfer.

I doubt it, the casting is designed to suit the yam lever.

there you go ........all i can suggest then is go to a bike shop,take lever with you and ask to look at a hi-level catalouge(or some thing like,motrax maybe) and compare with other yamaha clutch levers
