*EDIT* That's what it was.. I just put a little rubber bumper pad that I had in my parts cabinet on the back of the lever so it would depress the switch more. I'm glad I wasn't going crazy(er).

I haven't had to try it yet, but I believe that is true. I think it is that way because if a rider accidentally stalls the bike while letting out the clutch, he or she doesn't need the extra stress, in traffic, of locating neutral again before trying to restart the bike.

Glad to assist!! hey I'm being nice, I could start out talking motor upgrades. LOL
Yeh it seems that particular lever gets sold out a lot- try google for that custom chrome part number, there has got to be at least one site that has it- but they do come back on ebay pretty regularly. They are made pretty well and I can't find a single thing bad to say about them. same wide grip and ergo geometry as the stockers.

for the black 5-hole levers- google for "Custom Chrome 647999" - you should find several sites that have them in stock, $29-$33 range.
24V thank you for confirming there is no difference for ABS bikes vs non-ABS.

BTW I masked off the bike and used some satin enamel to paint the clutch yoke black (the clutch cable part that sits inside the clutch lever and is visible, plain metal color) as well as the brake line banjo bolt. now it all looks nice and slick black .

Quick question guys- I noticed my electrical light coming on once in a while yesterday but only when bike is running and stopped (indicator #4 in picture) - like at a stoplight. it turns off when I start moving. if I revved the RPM bit while stopped it did not make a difference light stayed on. I do not have the HD alarm system on bike.
I recently disconnected and removed the front turn signals, and the rears are running 1156 red LED bulbs. But I had it this way for about 2 weeks and did not see this red light until just yesterday. Any ideas?

Mine has been doing that since I removed my rear turns and added the LED strip on the fender. I'm not sure what is up...

hey what did you put in the fender strut holes after you removed the rear turn signals? I wanted to do that but did not want to have open ugly oval holes.

cool- thanks for that note. Thinking.. it must be a can-bus error signal flicking the light on. I'll try adding in two resistor load equalizers to the system and see if that fixes it.

I have been meaning to mess with it but got busy with other stuff... One of these days I'll make some little plates out of some metal stock and grind it down to flush mount somehow.
