i have my kickstand and clutch kill switch all disabled anyways....i've run out of gas at speed and the engine cuts out...i just quickly flip the fuel to reserve and start back up in gear without missing a beat....

i always shut off fuel about 1/4 mile to my destination to empty the fuel in my carb....just a habit, so i'm pretty quick to reaching down and turning the fuel peacock...

Those look exactly like the ones I got for xmas from the wife, although I think she paid closer to $50 or $60 for them (also from ebay). They work very well - they are more of a 3-finger than 2-finger shorty, but still work well.

Two side effects - shorter lever means slightly firmer pull (due to less leverage) on the clutch lever - it requires a little more force to pull in the clutch. Also, oddly, the front brake is a bit 'softer' (not the pull, but the reaction) and slightly mushier - this actually worked in my favor because I found the front brake very touchy and wanted it a little softer for tight trails etc. The adjusters are very nice as you can adjust the reach to suit your needs.

It seems like a lot of these are coming from overseas. Fortunately, I found a pair on eBay from California with free shipping for $27. Hopefully I can put them on this weekend.

$20-$25 maybe (probably $30) with shipping i dont quite remember, cheap for levers you can customize though. I don't want them anymore though if anyone wants to shoot an offer

that looks like what i have (not the one rockabill got)....should work fine...but, you might want a thin washer because the lever will wiggle slightly up and down...
