Kinda a long shot but can someone that has the shorties take a picture of their fingers on the levers so I can see how much room their is (preferably with gloves on). I have decent sized hands and I would think being able to use 3 fingers on the levers would be better....

Touche my friend touche. I rode to work today and 3 fingered the clutch and got a lot more comfortable with it. I am starting to like these more and more every time I ride.

Same here, I 3 finger both clutch and brake feels less akward that way.

Looks like I should readjust my cable length at this point.

Clutch lever doesn't quite sit all the way flush, unless it snaps back or is pushed. just a simple squeeze and it won't go all the way back.

Same with you guys?

To adjust it you have to shorten it on both ends correct? the bar and the box?

EDIT: this in no way affects shifting / function / shift control.

I did readjust my clutch cable a little but because it didn't feel as if the cable was pulling as far as it did when the OEM lever was on. I backed the cable out a bit and now it feels like the cable pulls more and feels better to me. I have not noticed lever doesn't sit flush. I will double check tonight but I think mine is good.

I barley had to adjust <1/4inch it but only had to do so at the bar.
