One thing to watch for on adjustable levers.... the adjustment mechanism uses up some (a lot on some) real estate. I think the Oberon models are pretty bad for that. Doesn't leave a lot of room left for your fingers.

I wanted tiggers like one these ( ), otherwise I'd just saw them off and powdercoat. There's guy on facebook that makes them - costed me $70 - most comfortable setup ever

I used small hand grips from a Sporty Low on my Dyna Fat Bob Bars. Helped a lot for me.
Has anyone used the Oberon product for a front brake lever ?
Seems like a good solution for us blessed with small hands.
My local Indy said The Oberon brake lever wouldn't work with the front brake stock switch housing. He advised me not to get it.

So back in the in the fall, I had some sweet black Wild 1 Chubby's 10 inch mini apes installed on the ol' Superglide 2009. Ever since I did, i've noticed two things: my hands are too small for both my Kuryakyn ISO hand grips AND they struggle to reach both the clutch and brake lever, therefore resulting in fatigue. Mostly on the clutch. Now, since I've owned a Dyna this has ALWAYS been an issue for me, but with the apes i'm noticing it more for sure. Back in my sportster days man it wasn't an issue at ALL. Both levers were very close to the grips and the action was quick. But I realize the Dyna has a totally different clutch pack, and therefore has a bit more travel.
I'm not a big dude, and my hands are downright f'n small. Like, glove size Medium. I can reach the clutch and brake levers, but i'm seriously operating them with the tippity top of 2-3 fingers on both sides. Causes fatigue after a good hour of clutch operation especially in the city.
So, I've been lookin around for solutions. Two things are going to happen... smaller hand grips for one, and then I also found these Oberon ADJUSTABLE levers, that have movement in either direction:

Anyone have any experience with these or levers LIKE them? I'd like to see if anyone's used them before I drop $100+ per side on em.
I do wish Harley made something like this so I can keep everything in the MoCo, I'm a fan of stock upgrades for the most part lame as that sounds. I can only imagine the gal riders out there with small hands may have similar issues. Of course if they do, maybe they should get BACK IN THE KITCHEN WHERE THEY BELONG!!!
That last part was joke. Please, save me from my kitchen fate.
