Re: using bark busters

never even thought of it I guess..........the name pulls us away as we don't see alot of tree action on purpose....might save some levers though, I'm sure all the DB bar haters would call it gay though....lol

Re: using bark busters

areed. but clutch levers and perches are still a problem no matter how short you cut em if you have a hb unless you use aftermarket clipons. Best solution I have found is aftemarket (longer) clipons, leaving the clutch perch and mastercylinders a little loose and running short levers. works well.

ASV levers, and yes they are pimp......but pricey, I got one on mine and its nice, already dropped it once and it slides right out of the way without any trouble.

My brake lever is already cut down to keep em from breaking, so good call there!!!!

Re: using bark busters

keep your perches loose and you wont have a problem i drop my bike every day and they dont break(then i got hand guards)it made it alot easer asv levers are too expensive and tey do break after awhile but they do.
