Adjustable clutch lever - Problems!

Hi
Has anyone had any problems with the pazzo adjustable clutch lever? I have a 91 CBR 400RR and my little hands struggle with the standard lever. However, since fitting this I cannot get enough lift on the clutch-I have tried adjusting everything but end up either dragging the clutch or not being able to get gears. Any suggestions???
Anyone know of a luggage rack that will fit the back of this bike?
Many thanks

I have short Pazzos on my NSR no probs at all, nor on my RVF which they were fitted to before...
daft question but have you adjusted it at the clutch end.

clutch adjustment is done at the clutch lever AND at the other end of the clutch cable..

you should ask if speedsiren knows where the clutch end is tan...hence the "other end of the cable...."

Thanks everyone - luckily my other half is a mechanic so he has double checked everything!
As he points out, adjusting the clutch span with the 'click' device' only shortens the reach which means there is less distance for the lever to travel back to the grips which he feels is then not providing enough lift at the gear end to clear the gears effecively, currently have to stamp down the gears when it gets hot. I can see his point, I did wonder whether the shorter lever would be better?
apparently the Pazzo lever is not been approved for the NC29 only NC30 onwards, we did wonder if there is a slight difference in design which is causing problem.
