 |
|
After this question, I'm fond of covering lever with first 2 fingers. Now the problem is braking power. My bike is kwak W650 and it weighs 194kg but only single disk in front. I attached GPZ1100 pad / metal hose and still the braking power is not enough with only first 2 fingers.(I know it has enough power with 4 fingers but I don't like it) I want to increase brake power with 2 fingers, and I'm thinking of sliding brake lever unit a little bit inside so that I can pull the outer part of the lever with 2 fingers.
Do you think this custom is ok?
