Brake/Clutch Hand Levers
|
Have you ever wondered why Brake/Clutch Hand Levers jut out so much
|
At least no matter what happens to the levers, you'll still have your Bach
brake.
|
I have to fix my Bach brake. It's Baroque....
|
Don't get Bizet Chopin the levers, or you'll be Haydn for trouble.
|
Ives seen people try to Telemann on this Liszt worthwhile information,
but it rarely works. It's like Grieg to the OP. (Perhaps if he uses
Mahler words?)
|
A Novello idea, but I'm sure he'll unRavel it in the end - he Weissenborn
yesterday.
I'm Orff now to Berlin for a Binge.
|
Applause. You guys are really making a concerted effort! I wonder how
many people aren't keyed in to the measures you are taking. Give it a
rest.

|
What if your Bach is Baroque?
|
Tne at least it's better than your bytes.
|
|
You'll have to improvise: come up with a two-part invention.
|
|
Bach Offen.
|
That would explain why it won't run. A Bach will work better when it's
Switched On.
|
|
|
|
|
Is it the Handel?
|
No points for that one. Re-use of old material...
|
|
|
Offenbach brakes are Baroque. Use the Ford one instead.
|
|
|
in as much that if your Cycle get's bumped over, the damage is extended to
the master cylinders and not just the fairing, handlebar....
|
Dirtbike riders used to leave the brake/clutch lever perch a little
bit loose so the perch would rotate around the handlebar instead of
breaking the lever in a crash.
If you look carefully at pictures of brake/clutch levers used on
modern road racing motorcycles, you'll see that the levers are
specially designed to break off about 1/3rd of the way from the end,
or the levers may actually be articulated with a pivot pin at 90
degrees to the lever's normal plane of motion.
|
You may think it protects your hand in a HIT maybe if your not
wearing knuckle gloves, but I find they tend to effectively pin your hand to
|
No, I never thought that in my wildest imaginings. If the
manufacturers included a hand guard like the brush busters used on
enduro bikes, that would be their obvious intent.
|
the handle grip in a slide, so you can't make a safe jump or ride the slide
with your hand from the pavement...
|
Quit sliding and jumping and crashing and you won't have the problem.
Alternatively, drill a 1/4-inch hole in each lever, 1/3rd of the
distance from the end ball so the lever will break off in a crash but
still leave enough so you can ride home.
|
I had that wonderful experience in 1991 in a Honda Elite 250 scoot
once, total airborne and all, but then most people found those little tires
hard to live with....
|
I put handguards on my motorcycle. They have two positive benefits: they
work as brush guards (and mirror guards when lanesplitting) and if
someone should knock the bike over, they protect the downside lever from
betting bent or broken off.
(Hey, why was your post set for followup by email instead of posting to
the groups?)
