Shorter Reach Brake Levers
« on: April 28, 2017, 05:37:04 PM »
Has anyone found an aftermarket brake lever that is closer to the grip? I have a 2013 Downtown and I find the OEM levers in the closest adjusted position still a stretch to reach. If so, could you provide make and model. Thanks much.

You know that the brake levers on the Downtown are adjustable, right?

I bought these off AliExpress for my XC500ri. I bent my original right lever, so I wanted to replace it. Also, the previous owner installed bar end mirrors, and whenever somebody would bump a mirror out of position, the mirror could interfere with the brake lever. This solved that issue.

So, $21.31 including tax, and I got these. They arrived in exactly 2 weeks, by far the quickest shipping of anything I've ordered on AliExpress.
