Anyone recommend clutch/brake levers with a shorter reach? Also, I fitted the low rider saddle and Hagon rear shocks, all in all reduced the bike seat height by 26mm. Downside to this is that the levers cannot be rotated up slightly to compensate for this. Some notch prevent this from being done. Did it fine on my Honda Rebel. Successfully raised the gear change lever though to work better with my 27" in seam legs. Yea, I'm that short!!!

The notches in the lever/switch modules can be heated with a soldering iron and then be taken out. Alternatively you can grind them away with an anglegrinder (as I did). Then you can rotate the modules any position you like. Should they be a bit loose then you can put some tape or thin sandpaper between the module and the handlebar.

There's little holes in the handlebars that accept the little locater pins/protrusions in the switch housings. On other bikes we drilled new holes of the same size in the bars.

In 2018 when the Himalayan was brand new to North America no one on fleaBay listed the adjustable clutch & brake levers. We cracked the code on which levers fit the Himalayan.
I ordered a set with type K25 clutch lever for 2017 and up Continental GT., Ninja 250/300 etc. and a set with type DK12 brake lever for KTM Duke 390 etc. . Of the four levers two went on my Himalayan, one fit my buddy's pre unit bike and the last on is serving as a paperweight.
By now every vendor on fleaBay has to have a listing for the Himalayan.

Thanks for your replies. I finally got time to do the job. Did Eatmore Mudd's way by drilling another hole. Worked a treat!
