[Discussion] Shorty brake/clutch lever

[stanco]

Am thinking of changing to shorty brake and clutch lever, but would like to hear some feedback from those who had done so.

 

Any pros and cons compared to the long stock lever? Say if I am always in a stop and go traffic condition, will it be more tiring for my hands?

 

Hope to get some reviews and feedbacks from fellow forumers.

what bike you riding?

 

based on my ride, i prefer my clutch to be the long one (cause i am using my four fingers to pull the clutch lever, its pretty stiff) and for my brake, i prefer shorty ones as i only uses my index and middle finger to activate the brakes

shorties for me..

shorter leverage yes, but beats a broken long aftermarket lever you paid $$ for..

 

if i'm using normal length ones, i would have changed many sets..

 

your hands/fingers will get used to the shorty..

but your eyes and heart will never get used to the broken lever..

 

just my 2 cents..

I used shorty levers on my dirt-bike to minimize breakage

[stanco]

hmm... i know shorty lever can minimize breakage when the bike slp on the floor, but how about comparing long vs short lever on other aspect? i.e. when normal clutching in to change gear, braking etc.

 

googled abit and some overseas forums users said that it's more comfortable. what do our own local riders think?
