    Shorter Shifter Lever

    I've takin' a liking to the shorter shift levers on the newer sportbikes. The one on My '80 550E feels long and clunky after riding a newer bike. It shifts fine and the linkage is in good shape but... I think it needs improving.
    Does anyone have an idea of what other shift levers will fit a older GS? Any else done this mod?
    Thanks in advance.

    YOu could travel to a junkyard with your lever and see what would work. Might get it cheap as well
    1981 GS650G , all the bike you need
    1980 GS1000G Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely

      Good Idea. I used get parts for My old Dodge that way. I've though about that but the junkyards around here won't let you "rummage" like in the old days.
      Thanks.
