finally sick of the stock narrow brake and clutch levers.  Is there an easy replacement wider lever?  Something with more "blade" area would sure be nice.  Thanks!

You can't beat Kuryakin's wide blade levers. They're chrome so you get a better feel too. HDL's website sells them I believe. No modifying necessary. You may have a local shop that can order them for you.

The  Adj levers for the 1800 wing work with a tiny modification and feel great

Are the OEM wing levers not chrome?  I would assume the same mod to the OEM would work fine.....   any idea how much the OEM levers are?

The adjustable OEM levers on my Wing are black, and cost over $75 to replace. Go with the aftermarket, and don't look back.

Trying to be there.   We are headed to Florida for the next few days..... if vacation does not spill over, I will be there for the ride.  I will track him down and take a look at those levers.

Did you actually replace the stock black levers or just look into replacing?  I ask because I would prefer to get a set of black ones rather than chrome....  I am odd.

I'd go down to your favorite metric repair shop and ask if he has any Wing takeoffs. Probably pretty cheap.
