Will these fit my bike and can I fit them myself?
Every EP Evo Short Clutch & Brake Lever Set is manufactured for a specific model i.e. they are not universal due to each make/model having different mountings, clutch cut-out and brake light switches etc. EP Evo Short Clutch & Brake Lever Sets are currently available for 110 models with more being added daily – so yes, there’s every chance we can supply an EP Evo Short Clutch & Brake Lever Set for your bike. A basic toolkit is all that’s required to replace the OE levers with an EP Evo Short Clutch & Brake Lever Set. Used in conjunction with the Evotech Performance downloadable video instructions, fitting is straightforward.
Why don’t we see shorty levers on a standard motorcycle?
Motorcycles are mass produced and must accommodate all shapes and sizes of owner, rider experience and more. So, the easy way to accommodate these variables is to produce levers that will suit all. An EP Evo Short Clutch & Brake Lever Set has inbuilt adjustment to tailor lever span for a rider’s hand size/finger reach. The fact the EP brake levers and EP clutch levers are shorter than OE is to minimise the risk of them hitting and breaking on a solid object e.g. road surface. Also, using just two fingers to apply braking force means the remainder of your fingers remain on the handlebar and, therefore, better control of the motorcycle steering system.
