    longer gear shift lever

    Hi I was just wondering if anyone knows where to buy a longer gear shift lever for a crf230f 2009

    I have big feet and in mx boots it's hard to shift gear I was thinking of cutting and welding the existing lever but it's not the prefered option on a brand new bike unless I buy another standard pedal any ideas anyone?

    regards bisbee

    What about just moving it up on the splines a bit?, I had the same problem with my KLR and my size 11 MX boots

    BBR in the US do lots of bits for 230s. Here's a longer lever -

    I wear a size 12 though and don't have trouble with the standard shifter. Maybe a new pair of boots is the way to go bisbee??
