This picture was taken last night and it shows a trick I learned by reading the forum. I get a better feel on my RKR Lever without having to install a flag. Wish I could remember who specifically made the suggestion so I could give them credit but hopefully they'll read this post. Thanks to whoever it was!!

So, exactly what are we looking at? Pocket knife riveted to the lever? Block of wood glued to your jeans?
(One of my pet peeves is levers mounted on the longitudinal center of the guitar.)  |

Donny,
I should have mentioned that it is an Emmons LeGrande so that piece usually just drops perpendicular to the main lever. By setting it at an angle and tightening the screw I can sit further back and the lever feels wider.

OK Marty, Very good ideal. Thanks to whoever did the post before. I did not see it. I am having the same problem with my Emmons LL 11 with the RKR. Also my bracket that my knee lever is fastens to extend's down to far and I feel that more than I do the lever. As with yours the horizontal bar does me no good. The lever is hard to push. I have been working on that this past week. Trying to figure out what to do. I will do this tomorrow and I can see where it should really help. Thanks Again, J.R.

The best solution I have found is to use a piece of foam pipe insulation for half-inch pipe it makes a nice cushion.
