Brake lever help
I have nerve damage in my right arm and now have limited movement in my pinky finger and the next two up,Hopefully it can be corrected with surgery, In the mean time I need to find an adjustable brake lever. I have found one but it is almost $200.00 just for the brake lever.Do you guys know of anymore out there.I just don't feel it is safe just using my pointer finger for my front brakes. Thanks for any ideas. 2006 Electra Glide

Hi from Bedford UK! Best of luck in getting roadworthy.
You're looking at two options IMHO, one is a custom item, such as the one you mention, the other is something made expressly for a disabled rider. There are clubs for disabled riders, including military, who have solutions for all manner of things, including the challenge you currently have. It may be worth looking further. I have suggested to HDF that they create an area for riders needing support, as there are occasional requests for help, but I don't believe that has happened yet, unfortunately. I'd be surprised if you will find anything cheaper than the lever you mention.

Roland sans is one option HD 2016 and down are a lot lower cost than 2017 and up.
Set for $149 is about normal for some.
Option two by a used lever and bend it in.

Most that I found that were adjustable for both clutch and brake were $200 or more, but I did find these (though they only claim to be for Sportsters): https://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Adjus...5ZP5Ls&vxp=mtr
and this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/HARLEY-JAY-...xanbAv&vxp=mtr
You might check to see if this last one will fit your bike, since $40 is a whole lot better than $200.

That's pretty amazing, try to bend and it breaks, yet when they get hit by a turkey at 55 mph they bend real easy back to your knuckles.

I was messing with a clutch lever this morning. Put the heat gun on it for 10 minutes and bent it a lot, real easily. If you have another one try some heat first.
