Also from surface of sprocket cover to metal of lever at the foot end 5-5.5cm

What is the gap between the alternator cover and the rubber on the lever please?

Seabeowner:
Ted, Just to add my measurement was the straight distance how far the lever is in front of the pivot point. The actual length of the gear lever is about 11.5cm.
Lever about 3.8mm from alternator cover.

florence:
Mine is 11.5cm from centre of shaft to centre of foot-piece, and 3.5cm from alternator cover.  Over the years I have found lots of Honda gear levers are compatible, CB550, 750, CB125S and T, CG125.  (Same on my CB350, I took off the awful original with the rods and replaced with CB125S.)

Thanks Seablower my " clearance/gap" from alternator cover is about 18 mm so I'm happy with that bit of extra for my big feet.
