Head Scratching Shorter Foot Shift Lever for RX3

Howdy,
I'm looking to purchase a shorter foot shift lever for an CSC RX3. I find the stock lever a little too long and have to slide my foot forward to get a good contact with the shift lever.
Can any of you folks suggest or recommend an after market shorter shift lever that will fit the serrated transmission mounting point? A recommended source and/or a recommended brand would be greatly appreciated.

jontando,
Thanks for the reply. A shift lever that is 1/2 inch shorter would probably work fine.
But when I clicked on the Amazon site and read the specs of the foot shift lever, they seemed weird. It stated the foot shift lever was 11.9" X 5.1" X 1.3"?????
I can't figure out where they were measuring on the part.
So, I measured from the front of the left rider's foot peg to the back of the rubber contact tip of the lever and the distance between measured 5 & 7/8".
So you said that the new lever is 1/2" shorter than the stock foot shift lever. So does your new replacement lever measure about 5 & 3/8" when measured the same way as I measured my lever?
And the shift lever part is listed as for a '93-'03 Honda XR650L bike.

Jontando,
Thanks for the photo and the measurements. Very helpful.
I ordered the exact same Emgo shift lever from Amazon.
Thanks again.

I have the EMGO also. I noticed when I put it on it was closer to the engine and made it harder for me to hit for upshifting so I bent it out a bit. Easy to do and it's held up well.

Question Notice any clearance problems?

jontando,
Did you notice any clearance problems between the engine and EMGO gear shift lever when you installed it on your bike?
