Default Brake Lever

I like to pull the brake lever with my middle and ring fingers while keeping my index finger wrapped around the throttle. The lever on my new RK Classic is curved and pinches my finger. Are there aftermarket levers that place the lever farther from the throttle? Or can the brakes be adjusted to apply with less lever travel?

Default RE: Brake Lever

what happened to your pinky? pickin your nose wit it? j/k

did you ride dirt bikes alot?
cuz every dirt bike i ever owned, had levers that would allow just what you wanted to do, i think i used to get them from dennis kirk.com, but im not sure if they do them for street.
i would have this exarated curve in the middle inward, so i could grab the brake with just my middle finger.

When you replace your pads all is well for about 5,000 miles then more of the same. Try Kuryakyn or custom chrome.
