My left arm is about 6inches shorter than my right and turns 90degrees inwards, everything used to be fine apart from not being able to use a front brake but lately I have been having tendon problems in my index finger causing it to seize and I can't grip the bars because my hand completely freezes up, I'm hoping this will stop the tendon problems

looks good mate sory it dint work out,

maybe get your self down to a fab shop near you and ask them if they could bend some old bars ou have to the correct length for your arms.then if it works out good.whos nos what else could come from it.
