I can't get a lever on the bend of my bars tried bending the clamp and bust it, what lever can I use? The tubing also widens at the bend. Any suggestions?
Cheers

Only some levers can be used on the bend. I forget what ones, but they use it as a selling point so it should be easy to find them

sorry mate, really don't want to get stuck with a single lever

no worries, still not sure that lever is what I need, what I want is something where the clamp can be made any size without it stopping the bolt from lining up with the thread? The tubing is quite wide at the point where I need the lever to go

i used a dirty harry{minus the spacers} on a pair of mid skool bars and they're wider than new skool

what about Tech 77?

firebird4130 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 21, 2008, 07:04 PM »

I already busted a 77 lever trying to hammer the clamp bit so it was wider, stupid idea anyway coz the bolt wouldn't line up after. I think I'll try a lever for oversized bars and wedge something in the gap
