It doesnt really give any info about the brake lever. It looks like the master cylinder in integrated in it so I would like to know a bit more info about it. I have no doubt that the clutch handle would work but I am just curious about the brake handle.Nathan

The main thing to check here is the master cylinder bore; is it big enough? Too small, and you'll find excessive lever travel and maybe not enough hydraulic pressure to stop the bike. The stock unit has a 11/16" bore (about 17.5 mm), going under that by more than 1 mm may cause problems...Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

It will up the chances that you will lock up the front wheel when you apply the brakesNathan

A little larger won't be a big deal. However, if you go too large, it will make it really easy to lock up the brakes!Originally posted by lee_dutcher View Post

Those look like what some refer to as "dog leg" levers and are very common on motocross and trials bikes. They are designed to be effective with just two finger operation so the rider can still grip the bar and steer sharply while squeezing the levers, as well as being so short as to help avoid errant objects (such as tree limbs) from striking the levers as you pass by.

sound slike my old cbr 900rr....lolA little larger won't be a big deal. However, if you go too large, it will make it really easy to lock up the brakes!
i only use 2 fingers anyway...im one of those riders that applies his brake really slow so im not warping the rotor and allow me the rider enough time to stop._____________________________________________ 1979 XS 1100 Special "The judge" mods- K&N air pods, 4-1 mac, 147.5 pilots, 57.5 mains, LED turn signal, cafe bars, HEL translucent yellow stainless steel brake line, dyna coil (dc2-1), raptor 660 mc, r6 controls..(sold)

Larger will need more effort at the lever for the same hydraulic pressure at the calipers. It will also reduce the amount of lever travel, making the brakes 'touchier', so it could cause issues with trying to 'modulate' stopping...Originally posted by lee_dutcher View PostFast, Cheap, Reliable...

Yes, but it will take more pressure to get the same stopping with a larger bore, and a smaller bore will take more travel but give more stopping power for the same hand pressure assuming you have enough travel to fully engage the pads and still clamp down a little more. This is how many hydraulic systems leverage things, moving a small piston a long ways to move a large one a small distance but with far more force than is put in on the input.Cy

Hi Lee,
if you just need cranked levers to fit your existing clutch lever perch and front master cylinder, MikesXS sells them at $6.50 each.Fred Hill, S'toon
