a/k/a Stuffy. '99 I/S Valk Roadsmith Trike

I can find them for the 1800's for over $200 but that ain't happening. I once had a set on my old '92 1500 Wing and really liked them. I probably overlooked some...somewhere.

Show chrome 18-111BC. John these i believe on Amazon 55.   For 1800 gold wing if I remember correctly you just need to cut a square peice off

For all the even cheaper b....s out there:

HONDA CB1300 Chrome Motorbike Brake Clutch Levers from Aliexpress.
17 USD the set SHIPPED!

Not as wide grips as the ShowChromes or Kurys, a tad less finish, too.
Work nevertheless w/o modifications.
I ordered them just for curiosity and ended using them for real.....

I discovered that the Kuryakyn non-adjustable wide replacement levers for Valk, are much more comfortable than the OE, and the reach is about the same as the half way setting on the adjustable ones.  And after I broke several (delicate) adjustable ones, I just went to the Kuryakyn wide chromes.

And I have small hands.

Those are the ones I have as well. I liked the 1800 gold wing ones better but they weren’t available when I needed to replace. I’m used to them now and have grown to like them

Yes.

When you break one (adjustable) lever, you have to buy another set of two.  So instead of spending that money, you put back one of your OE's in place of the broken one.  No it doesn't match, but it works.  Then you break the same side on the other bike, and use another spare from the bin that fits. 

Finally you give up on the delicate ones, and get some that don't break.
