Hi there, I found this too at first until someone pointed out that it stops you from making accidental gear changes or god forbid an accidental neutral mid section ! I am totally used to it now just remember not to stamp on the pedal and all will be well.
Hi there my machine had short levers on when I got it, and have recently changed them back to the original spec on the advice of an expert at a training day and what a difference. Wish I`d done it ages ago. I find that I have much better control of my machine. Save your money bud and keep the one`s you`ve got.
Yeah done this before just make sure you use plastic primer first and let each coat dry before the next as depending on the plastic it may soften quite badly. Good luck bud
