| | Posted : 10 Jul 2012 - 12:55 Post title : Accessories | | | Does anyone out there know where you can get a set of decent clutch and brake levers for the T/bird? I have found the one's on my storm knock when you go over bumpy roads.
It would be nice to get a black pair of levers ,i have tried looking for some but no joy as yet.

| | Posted : 10 Jul 2012 - 13:37 Post title : Re: Accessories (Re: greenhornet) | | | It depends on what you call "decent". Stock levers are of good quality. If your problem is the color, just anodize them.
If the problem is ergonomics, I'm working on a set of OEM adjustable Yamaha FZ1 levers to make them fit. It would take time, though.
There are no other alternatives :(
Cheers!

| | Posted : 10 Jul 2012 - 21:05 Post title : Re: Accessories (Re: TBRider) | | | There's a bushing in there that wears,right along with the hole in the lever itself where the bushing fits into.They must be removed and greased periodically.I just got a new lever and bushing under waramtee because they were so loose.I can't remember whether the lever rattled or not but I'm sure it did.

| | Posted : 11 Jul 2012 - 12:08 Post title : Re: Accessories (Re: davetac1) | | | My clutch lever vibrates under low RPM w/ load, or bumpy roads. Stealer "attempted" to tighten, but didn't fix it. After my long weekend (1200 miles planned, starting TONIGHT), gonna see what I can do myself. Haven't found any aftermarket options either. Would love adjustables....cuz it's a reach for my average size hands.

| | Posted : 13 Jul 2012 - 04:01 Post title : Re: Accessories (Re: bnz433) | | | I'll jump on this bandwagon. Would really appreciate some nice black anodized adjustable and more ergonomic levers for the Storm. My stock ones are too loose (as mentioned above) and could really be a little smaller in width for my taste. Just thought I'd chime in to show interest but I really have no alternatives either at this point.

Then Thatchie can grab the gold ones to carry his theme further!
