    The 08 TE 510 is the first Husky I have owned. I find it kind of goofy that it has a shorty brake lever and long clutch lever. That's OK though as I see Magura offers short levers. I like to carry spare levers on the long rides, so I have a perfect excuse to buy a Magura shorty.

    Any opinions on the short clutch levers?

    I like the shorty. I move the perch inboard so that I can use my index and middle finger for the clutch lever, while maintaining hold of the handlebar grip with the other two fingers.
