Big Feet

[Wagonpeddler_imp]

I have an issue trying to get my size 12W shoe under the shift lever. The lever is short and angled downward somewhat. I typically perform upshifts with the side of my shoe pressed against the edge of the rubber boot on the lever. Is the shift lever adjustable? Is there a longer aftermarket lever available? Moving it up 1/2" would make a huge difference. Will be removing the lever soon anyway to be able to bleed clutch fluid.
Thanks.

A few members did that mod.

Snow boots can be troublesome.

I stopped that practice many years ago.

It is adjustable for up or down. Not a super lot but some. I forget how much and would have to look in the service manual to see if the amount is listed. I did mine when I bought it in '13 and haven't messed with it since.

I have size 14's and had that problem as well on my 2014 ,yes the shifter linkage is adjustable and makes a world of difference

I were a 12 w and I have no issue but I don't wear boots just shoes

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

So-kay 340Duster, I don't wish to see yer feet.

Although a big boot on the tiny CB1100 shifter might do.

 

[Wagonpeddler_imp]

Will have to remove the pedal for clutch fluid bleed....guess I'll find out then.
Thanks........

I replaced the original rubber thing with one from the earlier model Honda's. Maybe they will help a little?
