Hi Shadow,
Is there a way to adjust the levers so that the clutch engages a bit sooner? I like to use two fingers on the clutch, but my remianing fingers cop a bit of crushing.

Not with the standard levers, to my knowledge..... Clutch is quite fierce, maybe need to use Pazzo levers which are easier on the hands.

The brake is adjustable, but not the clutch. I want both! 
I saw the Pazzo, but they don''t have a listing for the CBR1000f.

Check previous posts from FLOGGER on this - he found part numbers for the 1000F for Pazzo levers.

You can save some cash on expensive levers and buy a pair of these instead:

I don''t have an issue with the effort on the clutch or the brake. I would like to replace the rattling POS stock clutch lever, and if I''m going to do that, I''d like to put on an adjustable unit. And to keep things symetrical, I''d get the same for the brake side.

Firstly why is your clutch lever rattling ?
Secondly, your original levers aren''t symmetrical - brake is a good bit shorter than clutch.....

I understand. My previous post was totally tongue in cheek!

Because it''s a CBR. Everyone I''ve seen has the same problem. The bushing it fits in is far to large, and the lever rattles in it. I''ve talked to dozens of CBR 1000f owners with the same compliant. I could try and find a different bush, but that''s not bling enough.
I think both my levers are the same size. At least damn close to the same size.
