Default Levers, close to handlebar

Not being able to reach the OEM levers very well I fitted some adjustable levers from Pazzo Racing.

Helped out much, the brake is perfect, but with the clutch my index-finger (thats what you call the one used to point and pick your nose right?) is just to the right of where the lever change angle, which is kinda anoying.

Are there any levers out there where the entire lever is closer to the handlebar, and not angled in like the Pazzo's?

I think the CRGs are a little closer and more parallel with the bars.

My CRG shortys are the same way! I Just grab the clutch lever with 3 fingers and float the index finger over the lever.

DRFLGD - thats what I do, and sometimes it just gets too me. Even experimenting leaving the index-finger grapping around the handle, but would like to be able to use same fingers as on the brake.

I think one of the problems is that the complete assembly (clutch) is further out than the brake.

Perhaps new clipons would help? Would they allow to move the clutch further towards the middle of the bike?

I have tried adjusting the levers with the dials and to no avail, I always put it back to where it was!
