Assuming a continental GT535?

It's a fairly standard rear hydraulic master cylinder. The shaft goes up into the piston. It's attached to the pedal by a clevis joint which screws onto the end of the shaft and is locked by a locknut.



You'll need to loosen the locknut then the easiest way is to take the pin out of the clevis joint (it's held in with a split pin which may be destryed removing it) and screw it up and down on the shaft to adjust the lever position. In theory the shaft will rotate too but in practice, it often doesn't and as you noticed, there's nothing to grip it with. Screwing the clevis down should raise the lever position. Remember to leave sufficient threads in the clevis joint to hold it firmly on the shaft.

I suppose they are a cafe racer which were always more about performance over comfort. Although in this day and age maybe more about form over function. Rearsets and clip-ons were never the first choice for all day comfort in any case.

The gearshift position should be very adjustable, I think it's on a link rod with a threaded rose joint at each end? Should be able to loosen the locknuts then twiddle the rod to move it up and down.
