Brake and clutch levers
Earlier this evening I went for a ride and noticed that I was getting 'clutchisitise' I was wondering if those adjustable levers would be easier on my hands?

Adjustable levers make a big difference whether you have large or small hands. I put on a new set yesterday to change the color of my first set of adjustable levers from the2wheels

Whether you whole hand it or two finger it, it's still going to require some adjustment in grip strength. Length can make a difference.

Are you suggesting that grabbing shafts = clutch control?

I have small hands and did the 2wheels levers, I highly recommend them if you do get adjustable levers.
