Shorter length clutch lever? - SV650.org

17-03-10, 02:16 PM

Hi all.

As the title states really. I find when I'm riding I only tend to pull the clutch lever in with my first 2 fingers. The rest of the lever then hits my other 2 knuckles. Only lightly but, after a while it really hurts the knuckles.

Anyone know of a shorter length lever (like old style bmx brake levers), that could resolve my issues.

Thanks

Have you looked at the likes of Pazzo levers?

hacksaw twice and a bit of welding?

Learn to put the other two fingers on the lever?

It has the great advantage of being cheap.

I know I've posted this before but I simply cut my levers in half with a hacksaw and then got a local welder to weld the little balls back on the ends. After a little work with a file and piece of emery cloth they almost look original, only shorter. Total cost, £10.
