XBR500 mods

I have restricted movement of the fingers in my right hand. Does anyone know of any span adjustable brake levers that would fit my XBR?
Matching clutch lever would also be good.

You can definitely fit a CBR600 front brake lever as I had one on my XBR - not sure if it will give you enough adjustment. About £13 from Wemoto for the basic adjustable or £65 for the singing and dancing 'race' version ( which does seem to have more adjustment  :-\)

I've noticed it depends on which year the NS250 is, as to whether they are reach adjustable or not.
What model year are yours from?

Thanks for the info. Do you know if the clutch lever fits?

Not 100% sure but I seem to remember the adjustable clutch levers were for hydraulics not cable operation.
