Ryda85 Posted December 27, 2004 Report Posted December 27, 2004 how much shorter is an msr shorty lever? its time to buy some new levers. i am getting the raptor clutch perch and do not know what lever to get....scientificly....the standard lever will give me more leverage..what do you guys perfer? also, i cannot find a shorty brake lever ...do they make one......thanks guys Quote
BdBanshee Posted December 27, 2004 Report Posted December 27, 2004 I have the standard length MSR lever and it is quite a bit shorter than stock. I wouldn't want to get one any shorter than the standard. I don't know about a matching brake lever either. Quote
BenBB Posted December 28, 2004 Report Posted December 28, 2004 The shorty is just right for 2 fingers. I run the MSR Raptor and love it, the leverage you may lose can easily be made up by setting it to the "easy pull" notch. I haven't seen a matching brake lever, at least from MSR, but I'm sure somebody's got 'em, if you find one that fits a YZ it should bolt right up. Quote
sredish Posted December 28, 2004 Report Posted December 28, 2004 I've always wondered about the shorty clutch levers also. I'd love to have a shorty brake lever, and with stainless lines, it'd work great. Quote
FlatTrackinIt55 Posted December 28, 2004 Report Posted December 28, 2004 ive got the msr shorty clutch lever and it was atually easier for me to pull, that is with a the cable set in the easiest slot. Quote
BdBanshee Posted December 28, 2004 Report Posted December 28, 2004 I guess I should add that I have 6 Barnett clutch springs in mine, so that's why I don't want to go any shorter than the standard. Mine pulls fine when freshly lubed, but starts getting stiff after a full day or 2 of riding. Quote
FadedDreams Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 (edited) ASV makes some nice levers.And in the pics,they seem to be shorter than stock.I remember seeing another brand on the K&K website. ASV site K&K site K&K sells RTC levers,they don't look to be short like the other ones are. Edited December 29, 2004 by FadedDreams Quote
