Hi Everyone,
I'm looking at getting new clutch/brake levers for my 02 Turbo.
As usual I'm over-thinking things and the HD clutch springs in my bike make it a challenge to pull the clutch in.
Now when I say "Challenge", my left forearm has compensated after some months of riding this bike, but you can forget about blipping the clutch to enter a wheel stand (with any control), and you can forget about shorty levers.
I just mention those to give you an idea of the resistance. Full hand intentful pulls, get in neutral before long stops... not a lot of clutch finesse is going to happen.
So back to levers...
I'm sitting here wishing that there was a solution that would increase the piston pressure while shortening the length of pull on the clutch. Pretty much the result you would get if you moved the lever pivot closer to the piston... if that makes sense?
Is anyone making a product like that, or is there a mod' to make the clutch lever easier to pull on bikes that have HD springs?
I just wanted to ask before I order new levers and find out afterwards there was a lever based solution to this hard pull.
Many Thanks
Sean
