Default brake and cluch levers projects *DONE
so i hate how the little ball on the end of the clutch and brake lever, so i cut it off! here is what have done so far... I pulled off the levers and cut off the ball at the end of each, i then turned it down on the belt sander. after this i usedsome 1500 grit sand paper to smooth it all out... just powder and done... i will post the finished product when i get them back... here is the pre coating pics:

Looks cool. The slimline approach. What color powder? Besides, you can always use them as shanks.

A friend of miine came off his bike and the handlebar end made a nice 1" diameter hole about an inch deep in his inner thigh, dread to think what would have happened if he'd had sharpened spikes on there too
