This was why I ditched my stockers for these. I also couldn't one- and two-finger brake with the stock levers as they would hit my remaining knuckles even on the furthest forward position.

I've had them for about 5000kms and don't intend to change them out at this point. Different strokes I guess -- shape and feel of levers is probably one of the most subjective and varied mods out there.

I've been using two fingers with stock levers on various motorcycles for so long my left ring finger has a decent sized callous on the main joint. I've tried going back to using all 4 fingers and it just feels so wrong I can't do it.
