Default Adjustable Levers

I decided to take a chance on these relatively low cost adjustable levers for the 1200R. Does anyone have any experience with them? They appear well made, we will see how well they actually fit and perform once installed.

Very nice. Too bad they don't make them for pre-96 bikes. $70 does not seem out of line at all.

Unfortunately there are not many options for adjustable clutch levers for Sportsters which surprises me. I am also putting on a new teflon coated cable and an EZ type clutch to soften the pull as much as possible.

The engagement of when the brake and clutch engage relative to the distance from the grip? I have them on the BMW but with large(ish) hands I seem to adjust to wherever that engagement happens. Not a big change for me. I can see how shorter fingers might benefit though.

Those look pretty nice. The one's I'm familiar with each lever is a bit more that what you paid.

They are adjustable to suit the span of the riders hands, i.e. the levers can be further from the bars for larger hands an nearer the bars for smaller hands.

I have a pair of these adjustable levers on my XL883N, they were about Ł30.00 on fleabay.

Please do report back. My front brake leaver grabs way far out, I'd love to bring it in.
