What should I do about my break lever...

[Jack848]

Hi,

I find the brake lever on my Ducati 848 is a bit of a stretch..
Should I get an after market brake lever?
If so can anyone recommend a brand name or model?

Cheers,
Jack

What do you mean, a bit of a stretch?
It's too far away for your fingers?

[Desmo]

Adjust it.

not sure of what the ducs have but jap bikes have a lil KNOB( and i dont mean desmo) that adjusts the distance but aftermarket is always good my ASVs have lil micrometer thingo that puts it where ever i want it

[Jack848]

yeh i mean far away from my fingers.. And yeh I adjusted the knob... Still to far

[Semi]

Adjustable levers, like ASV's, will help.

[hammerhead]

do it they are top levers i love them

[Desmo]

Adjustable levers, like ASV's, will help.

The Duc already has adjustable span levers.
If they aren't going in far enough, something is wrong.

[Jack848]

hhmmm....

Might take a ride to frasers...

[Barfridge]

sure, pay double what you need to, but it will have a ducati logo somewhere, so that's ok

I hear you Jack, my old levers were too far away and massively massive (and I have big hands too, if you know what I mean). After market levers fixed my 'picky, must be in an exact spot' attitude.

[Jack848]

yeh same goes.. I got XL hands and still get the shits with the levers.. Maybe I should just buy some off the net.. I was thinking the Pazzo's... Any other recommendations?

[Desmo]

Seriously, something is wrong if you have XL hands and can't get the levers adjusted properly.
I'm not having a dig or saying something is wrong with you per se, just something is wrong.
You sure you're adjusting them correctly?
You know if they come too close to the bar it'll hit the bar and, um, not work, right?

[hammerhead]

ha ha thats the fun with the clutch lever if it doesnt come in far enuf then the bike wont start

[Uni]

I have no other recommends but the Pazzo's suited me fine. Good manufacture and fit. I'm still happy even if I did blow 200 rods on levers, which was silly but essential at the same time.




I have normal hands, I was just talking myself up...

[Desmo]

It's OK mate, small hands make your cock look bigger.

[Jack848]

hang on.. I'm going down to the garage to take a photo and show you haha.. And don't worry NOTHING is wrong with me :p

[Desmo]

Show us with your hand span next to the lever too.

Same reason I only ever fuck midgets.

[Jack848]

okay the 2 photo's show the lever pulled in fully and let out all the way..
I still think they are too far out (and yes they are adjusted to the closest setting)
