Clutch & brake lever tweak
« on: February 15, 2014, 06:58:20 pm »
I put a set of Magura lever assemblies on one of my bikes because I was sick of the crap replica ones snapping off in a strong wind , But having small hands meant they were too far out of my reach(your controls should be easy to use ;)),the brake side was easy as it was allready theaded for a brake light switch,the clutch side needed drilling & tapping to suit,I then screwed in a couple of tappet adjusters I had lying around,adjusted the cable to suit,mucked about a bit setting the adjustment of the levers & roosted off into the sunset fanning the clutch out of the corners & lots of front picks into the corners :)

Gotta love Aussie engineering!
Nice one, smed!  :D

I've always found Magura levers too far away for me too.

btw How's your left nut?  :o
Just thought you might be injured looking at that dent in the tank.  ;D ;D ;D

An oldie but a goodie! Homemade but "Factory" - so much more 'control'. One of the best go fast mods you can do for a bloke with hands smaller than the Hulk!
