small hands need advice on...

[csmead]

how to modify the clutch lever. Should I just buy a new one and bend it?

Did you adjust it already? You can bend it but I would be real careful as alumn. tends to rip and tear.

We adjusted it. It is too big of a stretch for my small hands. Best idea so far is to buy another one, and try to bend it.

Maybe if you can find the right cross reference, you could get one of the adjustable ones. It doesnt change the pull length, but allows for adjustment of the starting point of the lever.

I also had trouble reaching the clutch, as a Lady Ryder it wasn't an easy reach. The clutch was adjusted to the closest setting. I complained alot to Hubby but he insisted I keep it this way and really try hard to accept that this is the way it was going to be. After riding 100 + miles, I have adjusted. With gloves on I can reach it with fingertips and it shifts so smooth that it is no longer a problem. Hope that this will encourage you to give it a good try.
