I got my clutch lever shortened "automatically" when I tipped over on a trail. Bark busters followed shortly there after, as did the hacksaw on the brake lever. Other than the bark busters, the cost was Zero.

 

That's the way to go. The ***** are there for newbies to
keep there fingers from sliding off. Never been an issue.

 

That must be why all the pro bikers still have the ***** on their levers - buncha newbs.

I like my *****.

 

I'm pretty sure the ***** are on the levers so the lever doesn't stab into you in a wreck.

 

The pro's ride way beyond what normal folks would and
have a lot of *****. Enjoy yours.

 

one of my ***** is misshapin... since i fell on it, the bike i mean of course :-P

 

I can't ride without a 2 finger clutch lever, pinky and ring need to be able to hold on without being smashed when you wanna cut your power.

Hacksaw and vice grips for a nicely bent curve lol.

 

Dose it fit 09 sf????

 

Installed new levers from Wheeling. They are the same length as the stockers without *****. The ***** are a safety devise. If you have ever seen a rider with a clutch lever through his leg you might consider buying shorties. The brake lever is for three fingers and the clutch is for four. I am now in my 57th year of riding and racing. I wear a helmet, boots, gloves and goggles for safety. I want ***** on my levers for the same reason.

 

Which won't happen with bark busters on the bars.

I wouldn't run a female lever without the busters.
