longer gear and brake levers

jerry · 15-05-2022, 07:13 AM

I am suffering severe hip problems have lowered footpegs by 30mm and adjusted gear linkage but really need to lower them a bit more and swing them forward so will need a longer gear lever and maybe longer footbrake lever , any ideas where i might find some for Monster 750 ,,I will sell one of the M750s and 750ss when its finished restoration this year to get a bike with more upright riding position and mid set footpegs maybe Triumph or Kwak 900RS or Duc Scrambler not sure yet , but dont want to part from my lovely M750 infatuation totally

so any ideas need about 20mm longer gear lever

If you could get hold of a damaged one from a breaker or if anyone has one on here, then it should be possible to cut the required length of the same profile metal and have it welded in

Forward will mean SHARPER hip joint angles. Is that what you want?

Adjustable rearsets? Some like Ducabike, DP etc have adjustable cam toe pegs so can be made longer or shorter easily. I don't know if they would at the longest setting be any longer than standard but it's quite possible.

when I put my clip on gel pad seat it raises me another 20mm which makes a diiference with the pegs already 25mm or so lower , guess I will have to keep the pad on the seat

rode a new Kawsaki Z900rs retro and a old 850 commando both much more comfy for me ,, can still kick start a commando too.

My spider rearsets have toe peg cams. I can could move them as forward as possible and take a measurement if you want.

It’s on an evo but it would maybe give you some useful info
