Brake/Clutch Hand Levers

 

    Have you ever wondered why Brake/Clutch Hand Levers jut out so much
in as much that if your Cycle get's bumped over, the damage is extended to
the master cylinders and not just the fairing, handlebar....

    You may think it protects your hand in a HIT maybe if your not
wearing knuckle gloves, but I find they tend to effectively pin your hand to
the handle grip in a slide, so you can't make a safe jump or ride the slide
with your hand from the pavement...

    I had that wonderful experience in 1991 in a Honda Elite 250 scoot
once, total airborne and all, but then most people found those little tires
hard to live with....

    I was thinking of cutting them so they don't go past the Handel Bars
at any angle.......

    I wonder if that would be a better idea, maybe do some searches on
radical bikes and their Brake/Clutch Hand Levers customizations 1st....not
too enthusiastic about the work....

At least no matter what happens to the levers, you'll still have your Bach
brake.

Don't get Bizet Chopin the levers, or you'll be Haydn for trouble.
