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.

What about your pegs? The feelers on your pegs? The pointy corners of the plastics where they meet the windscreen??

I have seen the peg of an R6 go through its riders leg in a low speed crash.

I just know the rules, I did not make them
But the pegs are bigger than even the ball end of the levers, the feeler is smaller though. And the corner where it meets the windscreen would only be a factor if they seperated from one another.

So I'm watching a track video of a guy with cut-off stock levers.... Hey!!! you turds may be wrong about needing that ball to pass tech!
