Brake Lever
| I to had problems with the chrome aftermarket. When I slid the handle in to touch the piston (BUT)had to push the piston in a 1/6th or more to line up the HELMET SCREW HOLE--this was not letting the fluid to return to the master cylinder therefor brakes locked up. Tried to grind the piston pusher a little but would not change hole location. 1996 GW SE RETURNED |

modification may be necessary.
| GL1500d the new set of handles from add-on. As I was testing them today, it was a hot day and before coming home my right front caliper seized up. I waited for the caliper to cool down, the wheels started to turn again. I talked to another person that had a GL1500, and he asked if I had replacement aftermarket handles on the bike. He said that sometimes what happens is the little round knob on the brake handle pushes slightly in on the master cylinder and causes the brake caliper to grab a little as it gets hot. The solution that I came up with was to ground down the round nub that presses into the brake master cylinder and make it a little bit flatter profile like the original Factory GL 1500. The handle turned out to work excellent. The caliper does not grab any more and everything is much better! That's the only fault that I found with the handles it is the slight profile imperfection on the brake handle. other than that, the feel is great! They don't hurt the inside your hands like the Factory ones do! |
