Lost shifter level! Any creative ways to fix?

[DGXSER]

SO basically you have a shift lever with no toe stub hanging out of it. I think you are on the right track. Go to a hardware store and find a bushing of similar size to the toe piece, maybe a piece of hose to go over it for the rubber effect, and then use a bolt with a washer on each end to bot it to the existing lever. Use Red locktite and a nylon lock nut on the back side to keep it from backing out.

Riding down the road with my XS1100 went to shift and somehow the lever on the front of the shifter fell off and there was nothing for my toe to grab. Stuck a bolt in there for now but does anybody have any creative fixes for this instead of just buying a standard rubber lever?
