Gear lever extender..........

[oldrascal]

I'm into my second week of GSA ownership and am slowly converting my sports-bike gear for more comfortable and weather proof kit, suitable to the ....ahem.........serious off-roading and deep-desert penetration that I have planned

Anyhow, I decided my old and very worn Daytona sports boots had to go and, having heard nothing but good reports, I went and bought a pair of Daytona's latest TransOpen GTX all singing, all dancing and GoreTexed boots.

Now they are amazingly comfortable for such a serious amount of leather (size 11), but are causing me no end of trouble changing gear. I just can't get any feel for the lever and have resorted to using the boot welt to change up.

I have tried raising the gear lever a couple of clicks on the spindle which has improved matters, but it still ain't perfect. So I am thinking of ordering a the extender lever made by Wundelich http://www.nippynormans.com/prodinfo.asp?number=WUN-8500105&variation=&aitem=6&mitem=6

Have any Tossers had any experience of this device or anything similar?

Cheers all.

oldrascal,
i had the same issue with my 071200gs as i wear sidi courier boots and after the millionth missed gear and getting fed up with the lask of feel, took the plungs and bought the touratech adjustable gear lever,

had it on for about a week and not one missed gear and plenty of feel, althought the bit you puch and pull on to change gear is a little small, it does the trick brilliantly,
hope this helps in some way,
cheers

Yep I wear Tech 8's and had the same problem. Got the TT extendable lever and bingo, all is well in Tartans world.
