Adjustable levers?

My failing rememberer tells me that chrome wide blade wing levers (GoldWing) fit a Valk but my local supply shop says Kury doesn't make them. Can anyone tell me what they're using and maybe a part number too?

As I recall, the adjustable levers are/were for the 1800 Wing but will work on the Valk with a small modification. Part of a tab has to be removed in the area of the clutch switch or the plunger, forget just now but it's a simple fix.

Correct re: fitment.

I have them on both of my Valkyries and will take a look at what I did (it's been several years).

One thing you have to check is the thickness of the boss which holds the bronze bushing for the pivot bolt, as well as the length of the bushing itself. Mine required a slight amount of planing with a fine grit oilstone before it would fit the Valkyrie master cylinders without binding.

Thanks to all. Later today I found the cyclemax site. Gonna get them ordered tomorrow.

Clutch and front brake master cylinders were the same for all model years of Valkyries so they'll work - with a bit of fine tuning as mentioned above.

My local service shop can order just the brake lever from BigBikeParts. That's the only one I need to correct a finger reach problem. My Kury grips, coupled with Kury levers, make the reach just a bit too far.
