When I was looking at adjustable levers I found people complaining the Oberons were leaking at the brake master cylinder, I sent several emails to Oberon asking if they fixed the problem and never got a response. I went with Rick's levers instead.

Yeah I read some of those too. Hoping they fixed the issues. The Ricks just have too much Rick etched on them. Lol
if the Oberons doesnt work than Flo also makes some (also with Flo etched unfortunately)

I'm with you. The etched levers are tacky AF! I was going to get PSRs for my stubby fingers, but the reviews indicate the levers don't adjust in much at all. Definitely interested to hear your feedback on the Oberons.
I agree the etched logo is, to put it mildly, not ideal. But having to choose between that or the possibility of a leaky cylinder, I decided etching was the lesser of two evils. I figured if it really bother me I could remove the logo and powder coat them again, or at the very least use a lever cover. So far it hasn't bother me enough to motivate me to do either.
I really wanted to try the oberons, but their lack of response made me not want to consider them.
Oberons installed today. Fit and finish is top notch. Starting in gear no problem on the last 3 settings. Greatly improved my ability to reach especially the front brake lever. I installed some extended turn signal switches and Avon grips. Liking the setup so far.
So, the original issue with them is still there.......gotcha.
Just to clarify I can start in gear in setting 2 as well it just puts the lever to close to the grip for me. The stock harley and aftermarket non adjustable levers are just to far for my girly hands to reach. I read several threads tha mention the grip OD has a lot to do with being able to start in gear. My Avons are pretty narrow which I like so there is plenty of pull. Also it’s a quick twist of the **** if for some reason gear starts are needed on the lowest settings
I’m pretty happy with the setup. Flo or Ricks are also great alternatives.

I tried Oberon's soon after purchasing my Bob. They did not work for me at all but that was almost 4 years ago. Issue with the clutch switch and messing with the idle with the clutch in because of it. They came right off and were sold.
