Brake/Clutch Hand Levers - Page 6

 

I used them in the 70's.

    I'm looking for breakable ones, so they don't smash the "master
cylinder/plunger assembly kit, they break easy".....in a wipe out you may
end up with a face full of DOT4/5 fluid...if your visor is up or you have an
open face helmet.

    Some drill to weaken, then some may just cut it...I wonder if that
ball at the end of the levers is some kind of OP safety law...witch prevents
them from getting a punctured lung like the racers with no lever ball???

    I have a Yamy majesty400 which has a wide fairing, where a slide
will only ruin the fairing bottom and floor boards.....but a slight angle
can turn it on it's side completely.......I tested it in case it really
happens.

 
That ball isn't going to stop the lever from inserting itself
somewhere in the event of an accident. If the levers were shorter,
there would be less danger of the lever inserting itself, and more
danger that the handlebar end would....
