I have just found a Puig one I quite like and it seems there is an adapter for the 1100, anyone have these?

Shorty brake lever.
Anyone have shorty brake levers on their 1100?
I quite liked the look of the Titax brake lever but it seems it is only for the 1000.

There are some Chinese ones on Amazon that I quite like the look of but they state they fit 2016 to current so it kind of makes me sceptical of them as, from what I gather, the 1100 levers are a different fitment than the 1000.
I have seen some other western brands as well but they are quite expensive especially as they come with a clutch lever which is no use to me as I have a DCT.

That is the thing, I am not sure if it is just a small detail that has changed or if it is more than that. What I find strange is the Titax ones are only listed for the 1000 which suggests they won't fit the 1100 or you would think they would say so. Also Rugged Roads sell the Titax but again just list for the 1000, so it looks to me like there are differences.
Then further to that the Puig ones I just found that use standard levers and utilise adapters list different adapters for the 1100 and 1000 so that further confirms that they are different.
Chinese being Chinese will often say they fit and when you find they don't they will offer you a discount

Pic of the 1000 adapter, as can be seen it is very different from the 1100 one I posted above.

I just purchased this one from AliExpress for the 1100. Now the long wait for a slow boat from China.

Aye, would be simple to cut down but not wanting to do that as I would like to keep them standard for putting back on if I sell.
I had thought of making one myself but it would be a lot of work for a one off so best just buying something.
They look ok but the long wait is not something I can do, too impatient
Think I will just go with the Puig ones, decent enough price and I don't have to buy a brake/clutch set.
I am with you on the shorty levers, I ride with one-two fingers on each lever almost at all times. However I only found the clutch lever to trap or bottom out on my fingers. I adjusted both out to the max and the front brake lever will bottoms out before crushing my finger. Maybe we need to look into the dime trick from KLR650?!?! or like you are planning to do buy the proper levers hahaha
I snapped my stock brake lever and needed a replacement, I bought some off of Amazon and they have worked well enough. I am sure with your machining capabilities you could copy the OEM ones in a shorter fashion. It would give us another thing to drool over as well.
