Clutch and Brake Levers

[Duncan R]

Can anyone reccomend where I can buy some half decent levers? I have seen Doherty stuff on the net(Very nice) but its a bit out of my price range. I am looking for ball-ended type  for 7/8" bars

Cheers

I can't, but be aware that they are available with different leverage ratios. It's all down to the distance from the pivot point to the centre of the nipple hole.

Hi Duncan
You might not be a fan of Ebay, but I purchased the following off Ebay last year. Not concours, but great value and fit my purpose, something like £18.00 for the pair inc postage. Happy days.

Sorry for the late reply.

I will check the ratio I have now as that seems to work OK - Thanks

Nothing against EBay have had some great stuff from there, I will have a trawl around.

Thanks

I seem to remember some levers that were so far away from the bars it was difficult to actually grab the lever to pull it in! I'm interested to know which ones are like that so I can avoid them?? I appreciate there must be a balance between the start point and the stroke req'd to fully release the clutch, any thoughts on this appreciated, cheers
the ones on the ebay link are no longer there Billybream, any chance of you checking the supplier for me? I assume they were ok to grab, not too far out when idling, yet adequate stroke to fully release the clutch? cheers

Hi.
The Levers were from Lancashire Classic Bike Spares
