Reviews of Wunderlich classic gear lever enlarger

It does what it’s designed to do. Makes it easier for me to change gear in larger boots and you don’t get the rubber marking your boots anymore.

One of the few faults on this bike is the short gear lever, that makes gear changes uncomfortable. This simple, well made aluminium extension solves the issue. It simply pushes over the existing rubber. Recommended.

Bmw gear changer too small as a rule 2 nd gear changer expander I have bought for gs 1250 and. F800 and sorts the problem . Easy to fit well engineered not cheap but worth it 10/10

Until you ride a new k1600gt for a while you won’t be fully aware of what I consider a fundamental design flaw with the bike. It’s very awkward changing gear if you have a size 9 foot! The gear shifter is way too short and the engine casing stops you from getting your foot under it without bending your ankle very awkwardly. So this little gizmo is a life saver. Makes gear changes a lot easier. I’m astonished nobody at BMW has noticed this problem. The fact that this piece of kit is out there is an acknowledgement of the flaw.

Absolutely great fix for the small gear lever using adv boots Looks good on the bike to. 2 min fit I used a little bit of silicone to make sure

Well made and fits well and solved the issue of the gear change lever being too far inboard when I fitted the BMW lowered footrests. The lowered BMW footrests make your foot a little more outboard from the bike compared to the standard pegs, and this extender fixes that issue. However it works well with normal shoes and summer boots, but I found that the extra overall diameter of the lever when fitted made it difficult to get a a comfortable position for both up and down changes when wearing enduro style boots. I changed the gear lever for the the adjustable Wunderlich gear lever in the end and this fixes all issues and gives a much better solution to the problem, BUT much more expensive of course.

fits well but needs rubber sleeve to save boots !! NIPPY NORMANS SAYS We have one with rubber covers - see here: https://www.nippynormans.com/f800r-f800s-f800st/wunderlich-touring-brake-or-gear-lever-enlarger-r1250gs-r1250rt-and-more

Simple but effective sleeve that fits over the nodule on the original gear lever. It's surprising how much of a positive difference it makes to the feel when changing gear. Took a star off because it is overpriced, in my opinion.

A very useful piece of equipment and I have had one on my last 3 bikes - 2 x GS and 1 x KT1600GTLE. Please follow the instructions and use glue or silicone as this prevents loss of the enlarger. Wouldn't be without one - even though the item is quite expensive!

Simple to fit but follow recommendation to add a sealant for adhesion. More feedback changing gears.

Arrived very quickly and with Gorilla Glue fitted perfectly, now left to set and will try/ride next week, but looks really good..

A godsend for those of us who have knee issues. Less twisting of the knee to reach the tip has meant I can still ride after a recent knee operation, so although slightly expensive, I would recommend this product. Be aware that you may need mighty big pliers to fit this part.

Stays in place. Makes changing gears much easier. Scruffs the leather of the boot a bit but that’s ok with me. Make sure you follow the instructions For an easy fit.

I bought this enlarger to alleviate the pressure on my toes, working okay so far. It was easy to fit as long as I followed the instructions, I used plenty washing up liquid to make fitting easier and it stays put.

Use the silicon, as advised. Stays put and works well.

Useful bolt-on addition if you wear big clumpy enduro boots like me. No more missing the gear lever - brilliant!

Fell off on the second ride DaveS on Jun 14, 2017

Fell off on the second ride so not impressed. Took the gear change lever off hammered the enlarger on to the gear change rubber until it would go no more. Appeared solid. Travelled in to work no problem fell off half way home and I couldn't find it. £30 wasted. NOTE FROM NIPPY NORMANS - The instructions state put some silicon sealer on the old rubber before attaching the new product. Then it is secure.

Makes finding the gear lever easier used on a long trip to Northern Spain through the mountains this with quick shift made gear changing a breeze, easy to fit bit of washing up liquid then push it on however at one point did notice it had worked itself back and could have fell off so maybe a bit of silicon is required good product.
