A little piece of brass stock laying around does wonders.....

I believe that was the first fix I had to make on my Tourer, seven years ago.  Very nice pictures.  Interesting lever with an adjustment cam, haven't seen that one.

Yep, I have those same levers. They are originally for a Gold Wing. If memory serves, I had to file off a tab from one side or the other. It came off very easily. They are great levers. If you have Kury ISO grips, they are longer than stock, and these levers almost match that length.

Thats right.....I now remember having to file off a tab to make them fit.....

I have them too, and like them.

But boy are they delicate; I've broken off two backing out of my very tight clearance shed (on the doorway), just snapped and fell apart with a very light hit. 

I now run a collection of Kury adjustable, Kury wide chrome non-adjustable, and skinny stock (two bikes). (Glad I save all my spares)

They don't match, but they all work.

I usually set mine on 1 or 2....that sets the point where the clutch is disengaged and starts to slip.  I like to just barely pull the lever and shift.  Set it at 4-5 and you have to pull the lever almost to the handlebar to disengage......or its a big hand/little hand adjustment also.
