Not so much short as high, Tim. 6" at least. Any longer & one would have difficulty controlling the doing bit?

Should be like the Mountfield - up & down, side to side!

But do tell me??

i'll get a photo of a mod i did for some one on our site at the weekend, basically it was a set of handles that clamped onto the down tubes of the existing ones and relocated the hand grips,
the clutch was controlled by a linkage to the original.
