New levers.. Shorty adjustable?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Well the inevitable happened, someone pushed my bike over in the parking lot as I WATCHED them get out of their truck. But it busted one of my levers and everything else is fine. I already have a shorty on the clutch but it seems too far away from the handle and I have to almost reach for it. But the friction zone is almost to the end if the release, so could I get a set of shorties for both sides?

Like these?

the2wheels.com make decent shorty levers... for cheap!
Ordered a set for my F4i and I love them, great look, feel, and the adjustment makes an easy switch should I want more or less friction.
Definetly check them out!

Also have a set lf the the2wheel, shorties. Have had them a few months and they are great so far.,. The look exactly like the ones in you pic and are the same price but have a ton of color options.

Yeah the ones on amazon come in all different colors too. I'm just wanting to make sure it will bolt up to my bike. It doesn't look like these come with the piece that actually mounts to the bar for my clutch and it looks different than what my Master Cylinder does to mount up the brake.

I've been looking at similar levers for awhile now, specifically these from Cycle GearSPEEDMETAL - Billet Lever - Levers - Parts - CycleGear - Cycle Gear, but I like the price of yours better. Either on is a great alternative to 170. Pazzos.

OP, if I read correctly, someone got out of a truck and knocked your bike over right in front of you? WTF?

The ones from 2wheel fit my 03 f4i perfectly, those on amazon look just like mine red/blk shorties. I'll post a pic shortly.

Yeah some girl was texting and swing her door out and hit the bars on my bike which tipped it over. It didn't help that I hadn't shortened my kickstand yet as I had just lowered the rear an 1" the night before. But they didn't even try to come find who owned the bike. Just left it lay and I came and confronted them as they walked right on by. I was wanting to see if they were going to be decent enough people to attempt to correct what happened.

And I will take a picture of my bar setup and see if it makes any sense. Mine just look different, and the bike is new to me.

Pics in my gallery under other stuff, not too good pics but general idea of how they look. If your running factory levers then these should mount right up.

Front Brake lever

Clutch (currently a shorty already, but really far from the grip.)

With the cover pulled to the side

Now the PO did swap the forks and I'm guessing handle bars. Not sure what is stock and what isn't on this bike, really. Haha

Even if you get adjustable shorties you will need to adjust the clutch cable at the clutch, depending on how much free play you have at the lever.

It looks further out than mine is even without my adjustable shorty's, but it could be adjusted at the lever if it doesn't . The ones from amazon will work, it is made for a plunger style brake and normal clutch cable.

I have medium sized hands so I run my levers on 2 my brother has a little linger fingers and he runs his on 4 but he got normal length adjustable levers.
