I'm touring on a 2016 Harley Ultra Limited with a hydraulic clutch.
Pulling out of a parking spot at the hotel yesterday in Ocean Shores WA, I dumped the bike.
Unfortunately, it broke the clutch lever and there is only enough lever for 2-finger clutching.
Steaming through Portland yesterday, I hit heavy rush-hour traffic and if you know about the hydraulic clutch, it's a bear to begin with.
Trying to feather the clutch with only 2 fingers just about killed me!
I'm stuck in Salem OR trying to find someone with a clutch lever available.
There aren't any dealers in WA or OR that has one in stock.
Hoping someone has one they are willing to sell? I'll pay a premium for it as I really need to get back on the road as soon as possible.
The idea of being stuck in a hotel for a week waiting for one to be delivered is expensive and sets my tour back by a week.
Anyone have one they are willing to sell?
That is pure garbage compared to the brake lever on my wife’s 2005 Sportster.
When I bought it the lever was bent not broken like that. The Sporty had forged aluminum levers with bronze bushings, built to last.
Try the aftermarket for levers, maybe someone still makes a decent one.
Small piece of metal/copper/pvc pipe that will slide tightly over the broken lever...smear jb quick weld on the lever and in the piping....ready to ride in 1 hour or less. One stop at Home Depot and you should get what you need. Cutting up a steel golf club shaft should work perfectly
All levers will break if it gets dropped on. Dont take this as an insult, but when you travel you have to fend for yourself at times when you get a breakdown. You have already found out you cant depend on a dealer to be there (But did you try local indy shop)? Sometimes a cheap set of vise grips will work YOU have to look at the situation and see how and if it would work. Same with small pice of pipe or pvc: Look, fisure it out and bang that joker on whats left of the lever and ride: You dont even need glue if it fits tight enough.
It's been a couple days so hopefully you've got it sorted out? If not, I would just amazon prime next day a set of these cheapies to get you back on the road. If you're already on the move, send them ahead to your next stop.
