So get stock levers for $15 a set and cut them... no problem.

I did at one point, but again that ball at the end is there for a reason, and the lever doesn't feel good without it

Really? I only use one or two anyway, so my fingers almost never touch that ball WAYYYY out there on the end....

Jeez, first you want shorties and now you're obsessed with a ball that you shouldn't ever have contact with if you ride in such a way to need short levers...

Okay, buy a cheap set of stockers and cut the ball off and cut them short and then JB weld or pre-drill and screw the ball back on...

I need rearsets before i get shorty's. I only 2 finger the brake and clutch, though, and the feel of my stock levers is terrible, but its something i've gotten used to so its not a big issue. I'm so tired of my foot position w/ the stock pegs though, that needs to change asap, i'm tired of ridding around w/ my toes on the bar.

I use 2 fingers too, but the reason for the ball is that your fingers dont slide off the side.

anti loop balls. Ebbs is a fan.

That and to help ensure it does not puncture you in some way in case of a crash.
