Adjust Breaklever and bars!

Hallo there!

I´m fooling around with the adjustment of my handlebar and the clutch and breaklevers...

I´m trying to get the levers in a straight line from my arms, when I´m driving standing...

The Clutch is no problem.... but the breaklever is.... if you want to bring it down the breakcylinder, or the pipe from it, touches the bars... and above there is the throttleadjustment...

Anyoneelse who has noticed this? And maybe got a sollution for it... or maybe I´m doing it all wrong...

Thanks!

P.S I´ve got this "gap" between the "throttlewirehouse" and the throttle... like 5 mm... it seems like it should be this way... but in pictures I´ve looked at the throttle is right next to the "wirehouse"... anyone with a 501 ´01 who knows about this or could check theirs.. D.S

Thanks!

Sounds good not to be completely out of my mind... ... just a little...

So the sollution is to tip the bars forward... in order to get the lever down... as I got the lever now I need to keep my hand in an awkvard angle... can´t use it as free as I want to... I´ll try that...

But you don´t want your bars too much forward, do you?

Thanks for checking your bike Dale!

forget the lugs, saw them off and do what you want. to bleed it all you just need to think "imaginatively!"

hmmm... I really don´t get it.. :?:


Dale: ok, then the throttlehouse - grip is ok... as I thought...

and I went out yesterday and did the same thing... got my frontbreak rolled over as far as I could...
and then I rotated the bars forward a tiny bit too...

I think I´m pretty close too... I´ll know next ride... let you know...

Thanks again guys!
