I wonder if you could either wrap the rubber or replace it all together with leather. Would that help?

I used to tie wrap an old black sock onto the shifter when I got paid to worry about shine.

You're right there John... ain't that just the cat's meow! Who woulda thunk. My Triumph boots include leather reinforcement over the part that contacts the shifter which is cool. But those boot protectors are a fantastic idea.

Cut, drill, tap, and screw a harley part. I know they make all metal ones.
Or you could remove the rubber and grind down the "rubber holding part" of the lever.

go spend $3.99 at CVS and buy a box of finger cots roll one over the shifter rubber. When you wear it out... roll on another.
