A ton of drops, bashing through trees, etc. and I'm running the original levers all because of barkbusters. I now keep a spare clutch lever, only to replace for inspection, my 2 finger cut-off lever won't pass inspection.

 

Fact is broken levers are ideal for bark busters - they fit inside. It also allows two finger clutching and braking with the shortened levers. I need to cut another inch off of my clutch lever, it's too long.

I learned when I broke my clutch lever on the 650, fit perfect behind the hand guard bars, cut off the brake lever. On the 250 I cut them both off.
