Been talk here about helmets lately, here's something I saw this morning Buell Velocity full-faced helmet: item 7902463122 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7902463122&ca tegory=6749 Check out this 03 XB9R (item 2479228370 )with adjustable "CRG RACING" brake and clutch levers. That's right, adjustable clutch lever. Anyone know anymore about this little goody? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2479228370&ca tegory=49984 |

I believe those levers are an American Sport Bike item. http://www.americansportbike.com/clickcartpro/images/catalog_large/BilletClutchL ever.jpg |

CRG is a quality group from what I hear - I like their mirrors, and if I ever thought I needed the other stuff - I wouldn't hessitate - because that is the stuff they are actually known for. Here's a review from a Blastard on this link http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/20164/25302.html?1051035175 http://www.constructorsrg.com/page3.html If the price is right - go for it! GT - JBOTDS! EZ |

Here's the scoop on those clutch levers. I thought at first they wouldn't be all that useful, seeing as how if you adjust the levers in close, you reduce the overall amount of clutch disengagement when the lever hits the grip. This IS true, and around town, you need to adjust them out. HOWEVER, once you leave town for the twisties, and aren't stopping at traffic lights trying to find neutral and sitting at lights with the clutch disengaged, you don't need full clutch for shifting. Heck, do it just right and you don't need any clutch at all, but I like to at least get some disengagement to shift, especially down. That's where the levers are cool..a quick sweep of the finger on the adjustment cam lever (easily done with gloves with one finger), and the clutch shifts are being done with the stronger knuckles in your hand. Instantly less hand fatigue. I'm sold on them, they really lessen the forearm pump on terrain filled twisties. The CRG LS mirrors should be mandatory in California, esp if your a lane splitter. Nothin finer. Al |
