Changing gear with size 3 feet

[Littlepeahead]

I've only had the 650gs a week, and yes, I have child size feet so even with my Alpinestar SMX4s on. This means that when I go to change up a gear I keep missing the lever unless I shove my foot right forward. I know you can get shorter versions. Any recommendations or other advice - other than buying a pair of clown shoes?

...I've extended a few gear levers on bikes before so no reason why you can't get someone to shorten it for you

Touratech do a soft gear lever, it's designed to bend it you hit it rather than breaking internal parts.
I'm sure there is an element of adjustability in length just by moving some nuts and bolts
Have a look here, this might help :

You could always get a nice guy who's local to cut it, shorten it and weld it up for you if you know any or pop round mine and I would do it for a small fee.

Buy another lever so that you can costom fit one for you and keep it.
I have not had a close look but could a lever from a smaller bike be made to fit.
