Default Oberon Performance Levers Review

I just installed my new Oberon Performance adjustable levers and what a difference. After years of "wrenching" & computer programming both my hand are shot (carpal tunnel). I was reading an old thread on this forum that mentioned something about the Oberon Performance Levers so I decided to try them. Install was the same as any ordinary lever, price was about $260 and they're a quality made item. My clutch & brake pull is much shorter and it seems like the pull is actually easier.

thanks for the posting.. i have been looking for replacement levers for the bike... at the same time i realized my left hand is cramping up more than it did with my '09... so im thinking an adjustable lever is a way to go... please post some close up pics... does anyone else know if there are any other aftermarket levers for the new setups

I'm dealing with arthritis. I don't have issues with the brake, but anything to reduce the effort of the clutch interests me.

I put the HD reduced effort clutch kit on my old '05 softail and it made a world of difference. With the new bike, I'm back where I started, and there's nothing equivalent for the hydraulic clutch that I've been able to find.

Here are some pics of the levers. The silver dial on the top is the adjustment 1 to 5 with 1 being the closest to the bar/grip.

I installed Oberon adjustable levers on my 2014 FLHTK two days ago because of the friction
zone on this hydraulic clutch is at the end of the lever travel.
These work great, I have settings 1-8 and have both levers set at 4.
Friction zone on clutch is great now about 1/2 inch off handle grip.

I had these on my Vrod and loved them.
I just ordered a set for my SGS direct from Oberon. Got the standard not the "AIRO" set. The standard blade looks wider and does not have the slot or break away cut out on the blade. I ordered a B140 and C150, just like the ones I had on my Vrod, the Vrod stock clutch lever works on the SGS because it's also hydraulic. The Oberon website needs updating so I had to order a SG brake lever and a Vrod clutch lever, I'll update this thread when I get them installed.

This is kind of odd it would move it if you have it at position 4. According to their website, 4 is the stock position:


The eight adjustments are either side of position 4 (similar to stock) giving adjustment up to 30mm (1 1/8") of lever travel.

They are not the same shape as stock levers so middle position is different. I'll report on them when I get mine.
