Posted: 14:10 - 31 Aug 2021 Post subject: Adjustable levers material |
|
|
I was looking for some of these for the 96 CB750 as the levers sit a tad too far and I need new ones anyway.
The Bad Dog ones are only available in black on sportbikeshop so I found some on ebay for £24 free return and thought why not...

The lever itself is believability alum, but the bracket is plastic, wondering how much of a problem that is? Haven't fitted them yet so not sure if about fit yet. If that's no good, I'd take recommendations for some branded ones with reasonable price. ____________________

I'd find the prospect of them snapping under hard braking terrifying enough not to put them on myself. Also, surely if the pivot point is plastic, over time you'd expect the hole to wear and eventually cease to be round.
But there are people who feel the same about the all aluminium Chinese ones, and the idea of that doesn't bother me particularly. ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)

If there's a steel insert at the pivot point then a aluminium lever is not so bad. I'd still draw the line at plastic though ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

If it's a restoration project then Dave Silver's the go-to for Honda bits.

I was going to say "It's not old" but it is 96
I'm sure there's other more common bikes with the same shape lever, I'm not sure about what the "shape code" of the clutch lever is though, the ones I bought were H626 but that was wrong, the brake (F18) was correct though. ____________________

I have no idea if they're actually plastic, I've assumed OP would know if he's actually holding them in his hands.
But the listing says a lot of things. They are not all actual words in English, but it does say them. It says - "Machined CNC Billt 6061 T6 Aluminum" and "7075 Type 3 Black Anodized Cam Block For Improved Longvity" and on one of the pictures it says "6063 Type 6 Black Anodized Cam" with an arrow pointing near the tip of the lever (which is blue).
So they may or may not be plastic, but I think some caution is justified when making claims about the materials based on the listing. The seller may, and this is just a hunch, have no fucking clue. ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)

Well it won't melt so it's not plastic, my bad
The seller didn't want it back, said to destroy them and send a pic for a refund, so I dismantled them, took a pic, and but them back together I guess they must be v cheap to make, why else would you do "returns accepted, seller pays postage" and then ask to buyer to destroy...
Anyway since the clutch lever doesn't fit I tried subjecting it to destructive testing...I couldn't break anything so I just tightened the loose bolts on the brake one and put it on the bike, works fine, now need to find the right clutch one... ____________________
