New clutch and brake levers

The previous owner of my XC had sawn off the brake and clutch levers, (maybe he thought it looked cool, or more likely they got damaged when he dropped it a couple of times!).



So tonight I replaced them with new ones.

Here's the cheap Chinese replacements I got.... A pretty good copy!




£33 for both, delivered free from China. I think victory wanted £130 plus shipping.

I won't bore you with pix and "how to" write up, as it's not the same bike most of you ride.

But overall it's a great improvement.... Cleaned and lubed the various moving parts, and with that little bit of extra leverage, the very heavy clutch is a bit easier!

Looks neat Mal

Bargain! originals were probably made in Korea anyway 

Looks like the previous owner chewed the ends of Mal.  It'll look much better with full levers and as you say, a little easier on the 'heavy' clutch.

A longer lever always gives you an advantage over a short/shortened one Mal but the fad for short reach levers seems to be catching on even in the cruiser world as you've found out.
