[grumpy]

is there any way to swap out the stock 750K levers for some with a bend?

that is, swap these:



for something like these:



while keeping the OEM controls?

Yes. I have doglegs on mine, I have small hands.

I have them on one of my 750's but cannot remember where they came from or what manufacturer.  They do work well.  ...Larry

you sound like my wife lester,,she has smalll hands aswell,she makes my lever look big,make sure youll get the full action from them though,,this can be where some have had clutch adjustment issues?not getting full travel etc?

[LesterPiglet]

I've used them for years without a problem.
Hmmm, all the women I've been with must have small hands as well.

I got doglegs for my stock controls from dime city. If you shop around you can usually beat their prices for this stuff by a dollar or two. Convenience and me buying other stuff was why I went with them. They cost like 12$ and fit right up. I used plastidip on the ends to get that rubberized end to to lever and it works/looks good.

Dave you spoke what hit everybods mind

Thanx for that input Dave!
I was wondering about my clutch lately and thought about a replacement, but i think in my case its because of that bent lever like in the picture. The PO put them on, i don't know why...
So before i mess with my clutch i will switch back to the original levers, that's for sure 
And i think, that will fix my clutch issues 

cheers!

Go through the clutch adjustment procedure and then adjust the clutch lever play just a little tighter with the dog leg lever. Get it close using the bottom stuff and fine tune up top at the lever so that you have like a 1/4" of free wiggle at the end ball of the lever for the dog leg style. You will have a closer lever with a clutch that fully disengages. Lube that cable up while you are at it huh
