I have just acquired my first C90 and am looking for a gear change lever like the one pictured.
So I can change by hooking my toes under rather than using my heel (which is frankly too problematic for me)
Do you know the Spline size and a lever model I can purchase? It would need the cylindrical rubber front peg for comfort.
I was imagining Fitting a conventional front lever only but may as well keep the heel option For the authentic look (ish) at least.
10mm spline, plenty on eBay but 2 versions as the E/S motor is wider (along with the footrests). As mentioned above the little pad at the rear which "you never use" comes in useful occasionally.

Kickstart - eBay item 143384502129

E/S - eBay item 123908647715

Assuming it's for a 12V bike - no idea if they will fit others.

A pit bike gear lever will fit but will not have the rear section try Pit Bike Parts to see what is avaiable.

I feel a bit odd now, with a bit of practice I can now use the heel an toe lever as Mr Honda intended with no trouble at all. It's easier on my Super Cub than on my C90, but not difficult on either now. It did take a bit of stretching of my achilles initially though.
But then I do have dainty size 9.5 feet :D

I've just bought a Super Cub 125 and had the same issue with the gear lever. I've taken the standard lever off (rather than invest in clown shoes for riding ;) ) and put a E/S gear lever on, which is better, but still not quite what I want.

As a lot of time has passed since the last post, I wondered if any C125 owners had come up with any other solutions?

My solution for the CT90 was to drill and tap a hole through the centre of the back pad and attach an old door stop which is nearly 1 inch high. That way I can use my heel to push it down. Still not easy but thats because my ankle articulation is a bit limited.

I did exactly that on my C90,but find the standard C125 one fine.
