I am looking for a set of the adjustable chrome wide blade levers for the clutch and brake on my Valk.  I did a search but some of what I found no longer exists,  Maybe part numbers changed and some have been discontinued.
As always, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The Kuryakyn adjustable wide levers (#7436) may be unavailable/discontinued now. However, Show Chrome makes them and their #18-111BC (brake & clutch kit)
Also a brand called, "Add-on", their part# 45-1206W.
There are a few left on eBay, but almost gone at $58.00 right now. I would get those.

J&P Cycle item ZZ10380 (Big Bike Parts brand part #18-112) for 1800 Wing. You just have to cut the square nub off to make it the same as Valk original. I had to wait two weeks for mine. I used a hack saw to cut the nub off.

This talk of cutting nubs off makes me wonder about the chrome starting to flake from oxidation. How do you treat the cut to prevent it?

I have never had any problem with cutting the nub off but if you feel you need to do something then just spay some clear into the cap and take a small brush and apply the clear to the cut that will seal it

I also had several sets of adjustables, with the cut (1800) tab, and no flaking, rust or nothing (and I didn't coat the cut surface at all).

But I have to say, the Kuryakyn Wide Chrome (non-adjustables) made for 1500 levers (#7429) are a shorter reach and much more comfortable than OE.  Probably as short a reach as the adjustables on 3 or even 2 (of 5) on the adjustables, and more sturdy without the adjustable mechanism.  I have girl size hands, and the Kury's are perfect for me, and no cutting a tab necessary.

There was another issue with the 1800 adjustables (with cut tab, on the clutch side), and that was the hand brake lever was causing the brake light to stay on for 1-3 seconds after I released the lever.  This had to do with the mate-up of that lever with the brake light switch, and took quite a bit of fooling around and a little cleaning and filing to clear up.  I would have never known of this problem, until the guy behind me in a group ride complained about me staying on the brakes too long through the twisties.  

Here is a Delphi link to the adjustable levers, and the brake light issue at the bottom.
