Thanks! Yes, the turkey levers aren't my preference but they actually do work pretty well I must say. They were a struggle to position, too. I've got large hands and can reach them okay, but it was a challenge to get them closer without putting the bars and/or levers at odd angles. I imagine getting rid of the turkey levers is a simple matter of swapping to shorter pivot bolts? Hopefully, fairly ubiquitous...
