1290 Stubby Shift Lever

After approx 300 miles I've got to say that I love the bike. The handling is phenomenal and the power is fantastic in its delivery even though I'm still sticking to the break-in rpm limits. The only complaint I have is the size of the shifter lever nub. It seems very small and I can miss an occasional shift if I don't concentrate on hooking the lever with my boot. Anyone else share this opinion?

Yeah it happened to me a couple of times today...

I missed it at full noise going from 3rd to 4th, the front lifted then came down harder than normal when hitting the limiter and pulling in the clutch again to change gear again...

I'm going to get my hands on an aftermarket set from Kevxtx

Paul I have your set ready to go, let me know if you are free this coming weekend to fit your gear?

Kev2 is back this week from his 6 week holiday so he will be able to make up lever sets if anyone wants a set.

Yeah when you first ride one it feels a little small, but soon get used it, bit like the high beam switch, flicked on by accident a few times at first, drove me nuts, now I am used to it I don't turn it by accident anymore, now I think it is cool how easy I can turn when I need it
