I tried to raise the gear lever a little to allow more room for my booted foot. However, after turning the adjuster link rod I found the gear lever contacts the underside of the footrest bracket preventing the any upshift gears. How daft is that?
The footrest bracket also supports the gear lever pivot Hmmmm!
I am thinking of removing the footrest bracket and removing some metal.
Anyone else found a better way of dealing with this issue?
Same problem affects the Special and the Stone.

I altered mine slightly, can’t remember which way - probably up, but not a lot obviously (else I’d have encountered the same issue) - looking at pictures, I see what you mean. Yes removing metal is all I can think of too, else the lever needs to be a different shape but being alloy I doubt you could just bend it.
That seems a bit mad. Glad I haven’t felt the need to adjust mine. Come to think of it… might be the first bike I’ve not had to…

Removing some metal from the underside of the bracket was not a good idea as the upper arm of the gear lever is still restricted by the fotrest bracket bolt mounts. I tried it. It didn’t work and although the “alteration” is not visible from above I decided to buy a replacement bracket. £112. Hey ho! such is life.
