Default Billet rear Brake lever

anyone need a billet rear brake lever for their bike? i have a billet rear brake lever I bought for my bike and installed. After putting it on i realized that the stock rear Brake lever is actually an extended rear brake lever. So this one is to close and low for me....

anyone need one? ill make you a deal.. but it is still new. I am goin to have to buy the Billet extended rear brake lever now and still have a perfectly brand new HD Billet rear brake lever.

I did the same thing. It would be nice if MoCo would:

A) Modify the deceptive description from "extended" length to "standard" length
B) Change the description of theshorter one from no length designation to "short". [:@][:@][:@][:@]

I ran into the same problem . The description in the parts book makes you think you need to get the same one as your stock one and not the extended one. I didnt like it when I first installed it but the short brake lever has grown on me . You dont have to lift you foot as high or back when your getting ready to brake .Give it a try you can always sell it if it wont work for you.

I did the same thing. Hope I can swap it for the extended one. Funny thing was, the guys at the parts counter didn't know this.
