    New levers

    I ordered a new set of levers from nicecycle.com along with a set of fairings and I put the levers on today and the brake lever is super tight. It makes the front brake stay engaged and the clutch line doesn't come back all the way. I've tried different adjustments for the clutch line but i'm not sure how or if there's other adjustments I can make. Also have the same problem with the brake. If anyone could help me out with this I'd very much appreciate it.

    A picture might help. All lever designs are a little different.
    Its not how fast you go, its how little you slow down.

    some of the knockoffs are too wide and need to be files down a bit.

    I got it! I took them off and realized theres a coupling in the brake lever that wasn't in correctly and I over tightened the clutch bolt. I felt stupid after I figured it out. Thank you anyway guys!

    Yeah, it got me a little riled up. After that though I put on my new driven 520 racing conversion kit. So far I think I did that right. I won't know until I get my tank back though.
