Is there any levers that are shorter and easier for a person who has small hands for the GS? Like pazzo style levers?
If you don't already have an adjustable brake lever, you can get one for cheap.
You can probally fassion something to hold the clutch lever closer to the bars without too much trouble.
As far as length, don't you have a hack saw
Its not the length of the levers that is the problem, it is the span between the bar and the lever. My ZX6R has 6 settings on the quick adjust that makes it really easy. Are GSXR levers interchangeable with GS levers?
I don't remember what year GSXR brake levers will work, but some will.
The previous owner of my bike weilded a little tab on the inside of the lever: http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=24067.msg275561#msg275561
I know the original poster of this blog said that the length wasn't their biggest issue, but I'm posting for others who look at this blog. The guys above sound like they've got the best ideas for the span. As for length, I just took mine off, cut em to where I wanted them, ground the ends round again, spray painted em black and popped em back on! They look as good as any, and are cheaper too! Let's see, $90+ for name brand or custom shorty's, or $5 for spray paint!? You could prolly bend em allittle in a vice too before the painting process but not too drastic cause they are only aluminum. I'll post pics when I get a chance! Peace! -Ike

I have ludicrously small hands. One thing I have found that is cheap 'n easy to do - free, actually - is to rotate the perches upwards on the bars. You have to reach farther when they're rotated downwards.
For the clutch lever, just add more cable slack. The recommended setting is 1/8", I run about 3/16". As long as the clutch is completely disengaged about a finger's width from the grip, you're fine. ;)
