After using the new lever for a couple hundred miles, I think I am not a fan of it.

My hands are big enough for the regular lever, though.

If anyone wants my lever for $100 (Plus $5 shipping) just PM me.

It is like brand new, of course.

I just bought both the brake and clutch levers for my '14 Heritage. Will I need to purchase anything else to do the install such as clips or O-rings, etc.

In most cases you reuse any extra parts that are needed. 2016 and older are different than the 2017.
You have a couple extra step so it.

For a 2014 Heritage, I have no idea. On my 2017 SGS, no. Just reused the same C-Clips

PT - did you slide out and re use the plastic bushing and depression cap for the hydraulic plunger from the original lever or just slide in the Oberon?

Video I watched before installing my levers. Clutch starts at 7:00 in. Very simple. I didn't bother with putting in extra grease.

I can use #2 with my foam grips. #1 will stall the bike when stopping.

My lever has settings from #1 to #7.

Does anyone have a picture of the brake lever installed?

Thanks!
I noticed that on the one I got for my wife as well. At setting 1 it wouldn't start unless in neutral. 2 was fine.

I just installed my oberon adjustable clutch lever,,, what a huge difference.. My question is, did anyone remove the bushings from their stock lever, or just slide the new one in. Thanks,,,,,,,,,,,,
