    Being old and having just had a knee replacement I bought a lovely bright red Speed Triple for the Dutch Moto GP trip at end of June.
    Changing gear not easy as gear lever very tight to engine.
    Does anyone know of a cranked or longer gear lever ( approx 20mm) that I could fit?

    Can you post a picture and maybe we can offer solutions?
    I have a Tig set here but you're a little far away unless your thinking of a trip Yorkshire direction?

    Hi Andy, thanks for your reply, I have someone who can extend the gear lever so that may be the way to go.

    I put one of these on - it is meant for a Yamaha YZ85, and bolts straight on. That way you get rid of the linkages, and shifting is much more direct.
