    Short brake and clutch levers

    How do you guys rate short leavers? I don't want to have to use all my fingers for the clutch and brake, and I don't want the ones left behind to get squashed under the leaver.
    Do you think it's worth it to put short leavers on my 250 (will be able to get full in just under a year) and are there any brands you can recommend that are good?
    Cheers for any advice.

    I shortened my clutch lever a couple of months ago, unintentionally I might add, by dropping my bike in a carpark It is now just long enough for almost 3 fingers, I quite like it. Do not recommend the method I used though

    Haha, no. I planned to buy specifically designed short levers :P. If it works for you having a broken lever, a proper short one might be quite good. Thanks.

    I run shorty levers, but as an ex MXer I'm used to them. Whatever feels comfy.

    Yeah, I feel that I want to only use 2 fingers but I cant pull the levers enough because the other 2 get in the way.
    Thanks for the advice.
